PREFACE
In present ins' to the public the result of my many years labor, I do so with
diffidence, being aware of how far short I come to beins an "experienced geneal-
ogist." This is not the work of such an one. It is a simple family record in
detail, by one of the family — one who was curious to know the conditions, cir-
cumstances, characters and estates of those from whom we are descended. As
such I trust it will be accepted by every member of the Newton name, to whom
it is presented with grateful acknowledgments to every one who has so cordially
assisted me by sending their family records to be incorporated herein.
The beginning of this compilation was inspired about 1885, by the compiler
of the Montague Genealogy in his letters to my father, who was ill, and for
whom I acted as amanuensis. He told me more then, about his Newton and
Montague relatives than I ever knew, or ever cared to know. — I simply did not
think of those people at all. I have found the same indifference obtains in many
families regarding whence tliey came.
The work has been j^rosecuted at intervals covering the years since then. There
was no thought at first of ever printing my notes. As they grew in number
and extent — and continued to grow as time went on, — we began to realize their
value to the family as a whole. The burden of increasing years will not jiennit
me to add to them or revise them. Imperfect though they may be, I shall like to
see them securely bound together.
My authorities are the printed Town Records of New England; Town Histories
, of Massaelmsetts, Connecticut, Vemiont. New Hampshire ; many genealogies of
every name; published. and unpublished records from the archives of New Eng-
1 land and the United States ; probate records at Boston, Cambridge, Worcester,
I Mass. ; gravestones ; old Bible records ; unnumbered letters from elderly men
I and women whose memory has supplied many missing links ; besides the younger
[members of the family, who have cordially responded to requests for knowledge
of persons of the name now livingl' To all of these I hereby express my apprecia-
tion of and gratitude for their assistance. Their names are too many to give a
complete list ; and I cannot select from a list where all are worthy of mention.
It is written that "It is impossible but that offences will come." It would seem
that the same must be true of errors in town records — so true is it that they are
almost the rule instead of the exception. Except in cases where the true date,
name or place has been discovered, these errors will be repeated in this genealogy
even as they are in many otlier printed genealogies. The fault lies with the
old-time recorder, not with the compilers. Where an error appears in this record
I ask your clemency — "She hath done what she could."
Several emigrants bearing the name of Newton came to America prior
to the Seventeenth century, all of whom left sons to perpetuate the name. Of
these the descendants of Richard Newton of Sudbury, Mass., are the most
numerous.
In gathering data it was impossible at the moment to know from which emi-
grant the person descended; whether from Richard Newton of Sudbury, or
from Rev. Roger Newton of Milton, Conn., or from Thomas Newton of Fairfield,
Conn., or from Matthew Newton of Stonington, Conn., or from Anthony
Newton of Milford, Mass., Thomas Newton of Boston, Mass., John Newton of
Pl,\'mouth Colony, or the Newtons of Virginia. Descendants of all are scattered
through every state in the Union. All were taken in and collated. Those not of
the Richard Newton branch were traced no further — and yet their number grew
iy NEWTON GENEALOGY
and increased — more than 1,200 persons. I could not leave them out, either to
be lost altogether, or to be confused again with the other branches; so they are
given here as "Parts" of the book, although they are but fragmentary. Some-
one may, perhaiJS, be heli>ed by finding them here. And they are Neivtons, too, —
why leave them out?
The sorting out process was a work of much time and concentration of
thought. — An active imagination also was indispensable. Without it I do not
sec how anyone could place names in a town record. Following the example of
many town historians, I have used my imagination to "suppose" and "perhaps,"
in several cases. I was told by a genealogist that it was better to give one's
deductions when a ease could not be proven than to say nothing; for the deduc-
tions were something to begin upon — to refute if wrong, to confirm if right.
While indebted to many others for information and facts, the work of com-
pilation, search of records, copying, abstracting of historical matter, construction
and arrangement of the material, has been wholly the labor of the compiler. She
makes no apology for what may appear too leng-thy an account in some cases, or
too unimportant and trivial a matter in others; this being a Newton family
record is the place to recount the merits or demerits of the members of it — at
length or more briefly as the facts shall justify.
The labor of correspondence has been the means of forming a large circle
of pleasant acquaintances — "Cousins" we call ourselves. This in itself has been
the source of much pleasure. That through this correspondence many now
know their descent (whether they ever see the notes in book form or not), from
the immigrant ancestor, is a great satisfaction to the compiler; for I have
made a point of funrishing this information to every family who had lost it, in
return for their known family record.
The index of Part I, sections one and two, contains the Christian names of
all Newtons mentioned, with a separate index of the surnames of their wives
and husbands. The same is true of the indexes of Parts. II, III, IV and V. Of
sections three and four. Part I, and the whole of Part VI, there are no indexes.
Being alphabetically arranged, each constitutes its own index.
In regard to the notes, I feel they add value to the book. People generally
are quite as much interested to know the ancestry of mother as of father. Of
course these notes are reprints, but being here they are available to the family
concerned.

EXPLANATIONS AND A HHREVIATIONS
The compiler has adopted the system of giving to each sou of Richard Newton'
a separate phice — branches, so called, as : Branch of J ohn, Branch of Moses, etc. ;
and in each branch the generations in their order; and to each name a number.
The name holding a certain number in one generation as a child, will hold th<j
same number in the succeeding generation as the head of a family — or wherever
else he may be mentioned in the book.
The heads of a family arc in large capitals, the children are in small capitals,
the grandchildren are in italics, the great-gi-andchildren are in the same type
as the text. In the notes the children are in italics. The names of children
marked with a dagger (f) indicate there will be more of that number in the
next generation.
Unless another State is mentioned after a town the State of Massachusetts is
to be understood.
'■ The usual abbreviations of the states, countries, years, months, days, are used :
b., for birth; d., for death; m., for married; dau., for daughter; prob., for
probably ; sup., for supposed ; C. R., for church record ; T. R., for town record ;
P. R., for private record, are all readily understood. Brackets [ ] usually
contain a "suppose" or a "perhaps" of the compiler and is a statement not
wholly proven, but not always. A*/^ '^
The indexes contain the names of all Newtons, by^ number. The wives and
husbands of all Newton descendants are indexed by surname and found in
number referred to, and in the notes below. •'

RICHARD NEWTON
FIRST GENERATION IN AMERICA AND CHILDREN
EICIIARD NEWTON came from England. We do not know from what part
he came, nor when he came, nor how he came, nor how old he was when he came,
nor whether he was married before or after he came. But none of those things
need trouble his descendants. They are questions that cannot fail of answers
sometime, if the data is in existence. With genealogists searching evei-ywhere
for hidden things of this kind, some one of them will stumble upon data showing
all those matters, I lirmly believe. I cannot go beyond our own shores in this
matter. I have tried to gather what is recorded of him since he came to America,
and give it in its order. It is evident that he lived in New England sixty-two
or sixty-three years. And during those years he was as much a factor in
establishing the foundation principles which the colony — and this country — was
built upon, as was any other one man of the time. It was a case where "all were
of one mind."
Richard Newton probably came in the suunner or fall of 1038, as did many of
those who settled Sudbury. He evidently did not stoii long in the then settled
towns; but came to Sudbury with the intention from the first of settling there —
settling a new town in company with people he was already acquainted with. This
seems to me to have been the condition of things. He was not a young man in
years, reckon them as we will. Taking the record of his death as a premise, he
must have been thirty-six, 'seven or 'eight years old when he emigrated — a man
in his prime for strength and energy.
It does not seem out of place, nor a useless reproduction of what is already in
print, that I should give here a short description of the towns, the times, the
people and the conditions of Sudbury and Marlborough, to which the descendants
of Richard Newton will forever look back as being the home-place of our kin
in America. The homestead — where the fathers and mothers of any civilized
people have lived and brought up children — has conie to mean a sacred place to
those children through many generations. It is also well to have at hand a
knowledge of their social environment — to know who were their neighbors, and
the people among whom their sons and daughters were to choose their life
companions.
It is not for genealogists, nor for historians, u<jr fcir those who have within
reach all the here given facts ; but for the various members of the Newton family
who are not so favored — who are, many of them, far removed from the sources
from which the data are gathered. They, I am sure, will commend me for this
setting of the scones in which our forefathers lived and moved, had their being,
and incidentally founded this great country.
If length of years is conditioned upon right living in the eyes of the Almighty
Father, then Richard Newton surely had much to his credit, for in the record
of his death on the town books of Marlborough the registrar added to the date,
"almost a hundrid years old." The town clerk for the year 1701 was Isaac
Amsden— either the father of that name, aged 45 years, or his son of the
same name, aged 21 years, both of whom were intimately acquainted from the
beginning of the settlement of the colony with Richard Newton, whose great-
granddaughter, Hannah-, had married Abraham Amsden, son of Isaac. It will
be noticed that Isaac Amsden signs as witness on two of the deeds given below.
He was no stranger to Richard Newton [see note to John Newton'], who calls
him "my loving friend."

2 NEWTON GENEALOGY
Richard Newton died Augiist 24, 1701. There can be no doubt as to the
correctness of this date of death. His will was proved November 17, 1701. But
it is the recorder's say-so that he was "almost a hundrid years old." This expres-
sion usually means that a few months, weeks or days are lacking. Yet if a man
were ninety-six years old, one would not be far wrong to say he was almost a
hundred years old. I am not making an argument of this. I speak of it for the
comfort of those of his descendants who wish to prove that our ancestor, Richard
Newton of Sudbury, was Richard Newton, uncle of Sir Isaac Newton the great
philosopher. Such an ancestor could not be if our Richard was born 1601 ;
because Sir Isaac's father, Isaac, was (born) baptized in 1606, the eldest of four
sons, of whom Richard was the youngest.
And for the benefit of those who do not know it, let me say that Sir Isaac
Newton, the philosopher, never married, and had no children. Thus will our
tracing in that direction be vain. Yet some who should know better, have written
to me that he was their ancestor. The "One authority places his birth in 1600"
must lie of the class "whose wish is father to the thought." There is no evidence.
The territory of Sudbui-y, Massachusetts, was in part granted to the people
collectively who formed the plantation and established the town, and in part to
individuals. The grants to the former were allowed at three different times and
were preceded by three different petitions. The first petition was by the inhabi-
tants of Watertown, and was granted November 20, 1637. The other two were
for small amounts to make up a deficiency in the five mile square granted.
These lands granted by the Court first had to be bought from the Indians.
Cato (or Karto, Karte) was the Indian owner of that part of Sudbury first
granted to the Englishmen. His house was on a hill, a little southeast of Sud-
bury Centre, about a mile west of Sudbury river, called Goodman's Hill. The
name "Goodman" was given him by the English. It is said he was an
attendant on the preaching of Rev. Edmund Brown, the first minister at Sud-
bury, and was converted to Christianity. Other prominent natives tliere were
of w'hom a few facts have been preserved. As a general thing the whites and
Indians here lived on friendly tenns prior to King Philip's War, and it was
mostly through other Indians that trouble came.
To a large extent the settlers of Sudbury came direct from England; only a
small proportion of the eaVly grantees are on the Watertown records. The
Sudbury records show the names of fifty-seven early grantee's who were there
in 1638 and 1639. Some of these were passengers on the ship Confidence of
London, John Jobson master, in April, 1638. About one-half are known to have
emigrated from the south part of England, lu nil iimbability many of the
others did.

assigTied in 1610, together with the ages of some of those who came in the ship

Ill connection with the names of tlie settlers of Sudbury it is appropriate to
state something of their character. Tliey were Puritans both in theory and
practice. The whole trend of their conduct is indicative of self-reliance, though
they recognized all proper authority. Their proceedings in town meeting, and
the manner in which the records were kept, indicate that the education of a
part of them, at least, was good for the times. As a religious people they in no
way lacked what we ascribe to the historic Puritan. Their Christianity mani-
fested itself in their steadfast adherence to the Christian faith, their reliance
on God, and their love for His holy law. Industry was a prominent characteristic.
From the minister down to the humblest citizen, each shared in the manual
work of the settlement. They were young men, or in the prime of strong man-
hood, and those with whom, because of their prominence, we associate dignity
and gravity, were comparatively young men.
4 XKWTOX GENEALOGY
The town was iiiuoriiorated September 4, 1639. The name ordered by the
Court, Sudbury, is that of an old English town in the County of Suffolk, near
the parish of Bury St. Edmunds. It is not improbable that they and their
minister, Kev. Edmund Brown, selected the home town of many of them for the
new home to^^ni.
At first the land was held in common, except .such house-lots and a few acres
as were assigned at the outset, or such tracts as were obtained by special grants
from the Colonial Court. But divisions soon came. Three divisions of meadow-
land were made in 1640 — "the first divided according to discretion, the second
by lot." In 1642 an addition of upland was divided "at their discretion" by
the conunittee appointed, and the "Cow Common" laid out and apportioned.
In all these divisions and apportionments Richai'd Newton received his share.
His house-lot was east of and not far from the Sudbury river, and north of
Jlill Brook. Seven others had house-lots along a highway to the river, which
highway is now discontinued to public travel. This is shown on a "Map of
the First Roads and Houselots in Sudbury," drawn by J. S. Draper, for the
"Annals of Sudbury," etc., to whicli I am indebted for much of the above.
Richard Xewton became a freeman in May, 1645, and his name appears again
in another list of men who took the oath* May 26, 1647. [Col. Rec, Vol. II,
pp. 78 and 163.]
June 27, 1647, Richard Xewton was debtor to the estate of Nathaniel Sparrow-
hawke of Cambridge.
After a residence of eighteen years, more or less, in Sudbury, during which
time we suppose all, or nearly all, of his children were born ; where his church
home was, and where he had no doubt prospered financially ; we iind his name
among others of the to^\^l signed to a petition to the General Court for another
grant of land. This petition is always sjioken of as the "Petition for Marl-
borough," and is as follows: —

• FitEEMAN's Oath. — Before a member of the colony could exercise the right of suffrage, or
linld any public office, he must be made a freeman tiy the general or quarterly court. The
applicant must bo of age. have a certain amount of lu'opcrty. and was required to produce
evidence that he was a member of some C^ongrogational church. "This regulation was so far
modihed by Koyal order in 1(>04. as to allow individuals to lie ina<le Freemen, who could obtain
certificates of their being correct in doctrine and conduct from Clergymen acquainted with
tliem." Later the requirements were further changed, and at the time (1G88) of the revolu-
tion in England, the practice of making freemen ceased. The following is a copy of one
ccrtiflcate :
".June 9tli 1677. -t- Mr. John Holyoke of Springfield a member of yc church there
in full comnnion : a householder & and above 24. yeares of age desires to be
admitted to ye freedome of this Collony attested .Tohn Pynchon."
The "Freeman's Oath" was the first paper printed in New England. It was printed at
Cambridge, by Stephen Daye, in 16."0. upon a single sheet, in the manner of a hand bill, and
without date. It was in these words, as established in 1634 ;
"I (A. B.) being by Gods providence, an Inhabitant, and Freeman, within the Jurisdiction
of this Commonwealth ; do freely acknowledge myself to be subject to the Government thereof :
And therefore do here swear by the great and dreadful Name of the Ever-living God, that I
will be true and faithful to the same, and will accordingly yield assistance & support thereunto,
witli my person and Estate, as in equity I am bound ; and will also truly endeavor to maintain
and preserve all the liberties and privilodges thereof, submitting myself to the wholesome Laws
& Orders made and established by the same. And further, that I will not plot or practice
any evill against it, or consent to any that shall do so ; but will timely discover and reveal the
same to lawfull Authority now here established, for the speedy preventing thereof.
Moreover, I doe solemnly bind myself in tiie sight of God, that when I shai be called to give
my voyce touching any such matter of this state, in which Freemen are to deal. I will give my
vote and suffrage as I shall judge in mine own conscience may best conduce and tend to the
publicke weal of the body. So help me God in the Lord .Tesus Christ."

These men were not the least in ability in the town of Sudbury, and became
prominent in the affairs of the newly granted town.
At a General Court held in Boston, May 14, 1050, the petition for more land
was g-ranted — "a iwoportion of land six miles," "that there be a town settled
with twenty or more families within three years, so as an able ministry may bee
there maintained." May 31, 1660 (O. S.), on petition of the proprietors the
town was incorporated, "and it was ordered that the name of the plantation
shall be called 'Marlhorrow.' " The Proprietors were to pay for settling the
plantation at or before the 10th of November, 1661, or lose their interest. The
rates were: "four-pence an acre for each acre of their house-lotts to the Minister"
and nine pence an acre of their house-lots to town charges, and later "three
pence per Pound upon cattle" for the minister.
November 20, 1000, at a meeting the proprietors proportioned and confirmed
the land granted to each individual respectively "& to their Heires and Assigne"
forever."
I will copy these names, and the acres of land given to each. They are those
people among whom Richard Newton lived and died, and whose posterity his
posterity have married and intermarried.

The amount granted to the thirty-eight parties mentioned for house-lots
amounted to 993i acres of tlieir valuable uplands — lands that could be plowed
and cultivated.
This distribution of land for house-lots shows wlio the proprietors were at
the time the town was incorporated, and the quantity of land granted to each
proves their relative interest in the township; and it exhibits another important
fact, that every settlement at that day was regarded as incomplete until they
6 NEWTON GENEALOGY
had a settled nuiiister among them. The setting apart of an equal number of
acres for a blacksmith, also shows a just appreciation of a mechanic in a new
settlement. And when that mechanic could work in iron, he was held in greater
honor than one who worked in wood, — ^"for," said they, "anyone can saw off a
board and drive a nail, but not every one has the genius to fashion useful
implements of iron."
At a meeting of y^ Inhabitants and Proprietors of this IMantation the 12 of y^ second
Month, IGGO. It is ordered that Richard Newton have halfe an Acre of upland given
and granted unto him to sett liis lionse on (provided he hinder not anotlier Lott ) adjoining
to ye west & South sides of part of his second division of upland, both w'l' being bounded
or surrounded by the Highway is his, & his heires & assigns forever.
Later is entered on the record the following explanation :
Richard Newton hathe halfe an Acre added to his House-Lott ; but hee hath noe right
to any land or other privileges for the said halfe Acre.
A recapitulation and final arrangement of each man's possessions in the town
on April 6, 1GC5, shows that Eichard Newton had at that date. House-lot, 30J
acres; of the 2d division of upland, 71 acres; of the 1st division of meadows,
15 acres; of the 2d division of meadows, 12 acres; of the 1st division of Cedar
Swamp, 15 rods. As it will be interesting to the descendants of Richard Newton
to know more in detail about these lands of their ancestor, and for the benefit
of those of us who have not access to the public records of them, 1 will set down
here more at length :
Marlborough ("This is y'^ same hill w''' is by y'^' Indians called Whipsuppcnicke
& by the english called Whipfufferage") is one of the best agricultural towns
in the country. Very little of what is called good land lies level, but is inter-
sected in various directions by hills, declivities and valleys. The high lands
are moist, and less exposed to drought, than the intervals below them, and often
retain their verdure in dry seasons when the valleys are parched. The southern
part of the town, in which lay the lands of Richard Newton, and which in 1727
became Southborotigh, is moderately uneven and the soil i)roductive. It is
watered by numerous small streams and brooks.
Marlborough did not, in its centrtil part, contain any large tract of meadow
land; but by extending its borders so as to take in the valley of the Assabet
river, a portion of the meadows on the Sudbury river and a large number of
smaller meadows and swamps, the needs of the people in these respects were well
supplied. The value the people placed upon these low lands appears by the fact
that immediately after assigning the house-lots, they proceeded to divide the
meadows, and set off a largo portion of land to be held in coumion for a "Cow
Commons'' — thus they had their own hay, and the right of each to his portion
of pasture for cattle.
The following from the town record is not out of place here, and shows how
methodically all their proceedings were recorded, as well as gives the names of
some of the meadows in which Richard Newton had a right.
In the division of the meadows "Every mans proportion for his first division
of meadows is to bee halfe y"" number of Acres granted to each mans House Lott."

io[iJ
The second division of meadows was laid out by Ensign Thomas Noyes "the
27: of the V: month 1665" and lists made. Richard Newton got lot No. Y, in
Cold Harbor Meadow, 4 acres; lot No. 10 in Middle Meadow, 4 acres; lot No. 31
in Chauncey Meadows, 4 acres. = 12 Acres.
In laying out Cedar Swamp the final agreement was "that each man should
have halfe the number of Rodds heere in the length of the Swamp that A man
hath of Acres in his house lott, w* should runne to each man quite through the
breadth of tlie Swamp," etc. This gave to Richard Newton "15 Rodds."
As early as April 5, 1661, the proprietors contracted to build frame for the
minister's house. "On the 7"^ day of y"" iij month 1663" the town apportioned
what each man was to pay. The rate of Richard Newton for the minister was
12s. 6d.
The minister was Rev. William Brimstead — a faithful and able pastor — and
the people seemed happy under his ministry. But difficulties arose which grew
out of the policy of the proprietors in regard to the forfeiture of the title to
their lands and their grants, for taxes, which extended to their ecclesiastical
affairs as well. ' They could not agree, and Mr. Brimstead left the place, going
for a time to Plymouth. Thus the town was without a minister and church
privileges for about two years, the people going to the Sudbury church on the
Sabbath.
In 1064, Richard Newton and eight others petitioned the magistrates of the
town for permission to establish a church and call a minister, setting forth their
distance from Sudbury, of which church they were members, rendered it incon-
venient to go there, and that many of the elder and more feeble could not go
at all. The petition was granted, but they seem to have progressed not much
beyond, for they could not agree upon anything. In the same year (1664)
seventeen of the inhabitants of the town asked the General Court to appoint a
committee with full power to settle their difficulties. This application drew
forth a remonstrance signed by eighteen of the inhabitants, who deny that there
is any considerable difficulty and declare they "Never went about to destroy the
Town Book, but only to rectify what was amis in it." They declare they never
went about to "root out their Minister." They allege that in point of "gravity,"
they are "able to balance or over-balance" the petitioners ; that they pay
nearly twice as much as the petitioners toward civil and ecclesiastical institu-
tions and conclude by saying, "We are willing, with our persons and estates, to
uphold the Authority of the Country ; and do therefore desire the liberty of the
law which gives towns power to transact their own affairs."* Among those
opposed to the appointment of the committee, and using this vigorous language,
were Richard Newton and his son John Newton.
• The controversy was not settled for about ten years. On May 27, 1074, a New Town Book
was finished wherein their orders and grants were recorded, and was accepted by all concerned.
Meanwhile Mr. Brimstead returned to Marlborough, where he was settled October 3, 1066, with
a salary of £40 and remained with them until he died, July 3, 1701.
8 NKWXO.N GENEALOGl'
Eichard Newton's rate to i)ay the minister in the '"'Tth day of iii month 16G3"
was 12s. 6d.
In the business of the town the name of Kiciiard Newton, with others, we find
signed to various papers. One paper is a bond securing Mr. John Aleocke against
loss through change of lands, etc. This would indicate that he was a man of
substance, and dependable. The bondsmen for towns are something more than
mere names on a paper.
Marlborougli, being a frontier town and situated on the road leading from
Boston to the Connecticut river settlements, was regarded as an important point
during King Philip's War, and was made a base line of operations. Thirty-seven
soldiers of the colony were stationed there. October 1, 1675, at a meeting of
the inhabitants, led by the minister, in order to care for the safety of the
town it was agreed upon that in case of an attack by the Indians they would
arrange for certain garrisons which should be established and maintained, to
wdiich the people might flee. At this meeting were twenty-five men, among whom
were Eichard Newton, his sons Moses and Joseph, and his son-in-law, James
Taylor. The order for these garrisons and the apportioning of the ammunition
of the town was signed by them and many others.
These garrison houses were eight in number. I do not know to which of theni
the Newton families were assigned.
The Indians attacked and destroyed property in many towns in this vicinity —
in Lancaster, Groton, Medfield — ^and on March 26, 1676, it being a Sunday,
they attacked Marlborough while the people were at church, and destroyed thir-
teen dwellings and eleven barns, besides fruit trees and fences.
The loss of the meeting house and the minister's house caused special distress.
This was the time when !Moses Newton was the hero of the day, as narrated under
his heading.
On July 15, 1684, many citizens of Marlborough obtained, without the consent
of the General Court, a deed of sale from the Indians of "5800 acres of land-
lying Whipenft'erage" : — that is, in what was known as "the Indian Plantation"
just north of the tovm and finally to become a part of Marlborough — which the
Court declared to be "null and void." Among these fifty or more men were
Isaac, Moses and Joseph Newton, sons of Eichard, and Jonathan Johnson and
James Taylor, sons-in-law of Richard Newton. [By this time Eichard Newton
was upward of 84 years old, or I suppose he would have grabbed some of that
fair Indian land too.] They all held on to the land — divided and improved it,
trying all ways to have the Court legalize their purchase. As no one brought
suit, the Court did not act in behalf of the Indians; but did not legalize the
purchase. This legalizing did not occur until 1719, when the Court annexed the
territory to the town of Marlborough, and at the same time confirmed the titles
by prescription.
"The Indian Purchase" will be referred to from time to time as we go on
with the story of the Newtons. Thus it seemed well to give so extended a
mention of it.
Meanwhile, Eichard Newton was advancing in years far beyond the "three-
score and ten" allotted to man. He had given of his property to settle his sons
as they grew to manhood, and given portions to his daughters as they married
and went from under his rooftree. While his needs and his estate grew less as
he drew near the sunset of life, those of his children grew greater — which was just
as it should be. So we find in a list of names headed: — "Taxes imder Gov.
Andros" — "Marlborough's Invoice in the year 1688," the following names: —

The whole number of males then taxed in Marlborough was 105, and the
amount raised was .€19. 3s. 3d. 4f.
Eichard Newton was not taxed for more than his estate — he had passed the
age for a poll tax.
The American Eevolution is one of the most important events in the history
of our country. As we have seen, the people of the Colonies had become
accustomed to fighting their own battles, and they kept themselves prepared for
the crisis, and when it came — the history of the world does not present a more
grand and imposing spectacle than that of the rising of the people on the 19th of
April, 1775 !
Marlborough had four companies organized and ready. They all marched to
Cambridge on that date as soon as hearing of the outrage committed on the
Green at Lexington. In the Company of Captain Cyprian Howe, Ensign Uriah
Eager, Sergeant Ebenezer Hager, was Adonijah Newton (son of Gershoin, Jr.) ;
absent from home IC days.
In Captain William Brigluim's Compan.y was Rohert Horn, and Jonas Newton
(son of Uriah, Sr.) ; in service 10 to 30 days.
In Captain Daniel Barnes' Company was Paul Newton (son of Nathan),
Nahuni Newton (son of Micah) ; some of them in service 40 days.
Early in the season an army of eight months' men was organized; Lieutenant-
Colonel Edward Barnes, Captain Paul Brigham, Captain Daniel Barnes, Captain
Amasa Cranston, Captain Silas Gates. Among these men was Paul Newton
(son of Nathan).
On the Worcester rolls, among the Marlborough men was Joseph Newton (son
of Joseph).
On later rolls, the names of Josiah Neirton (son of Josiah), 1777, Lieutenant
Jonathan Wells, 177S, Dana Newton.
The most important list, because they were in the service the longest, were the
"Eirst Three Years' Men" and the "Last Three Years' Men." Some of them
were enrolled during the whole war and fought upon almost every battlefield.
They generally received a small bounty on enlistment. Among the first three
years' men were Dana Newlon, Jonah, also Jonas (son of Uriah), Joseph (son
of Joseph), Jonathan (son of Uriah, Jr.), John (son of John).
Among the last three years" men were Ephraim (son of Ephraim), John (son
of John).
The town was called upon to supply its quota of three years' men. The state
of the currency was such the soldiers would not take it, and the town must find
men. As a last resort they voted to give a bounty to each man of twenty steers,
three years old, or in lieu of each steer, fourteen hard dollars, to be paid, etc. ;
later the steers were to be valued at fifteen dollars cncli. Thus it was that
steers became legal tender.
PART I
RICHARD NEWTON, AVIFE AND CHILDREN
1. EICHAED NEWTON', in his will, calls John his "eldest son," and from
the amount he bequeaths to him one would infer that John was getting the
eldest son's double portion, as was the English custom. The other sons he names,
as I suppose, in tlie order of their births, Moses, Joseph and Daniel. The order
in which he names the daughters would indicate that Mary was the eldest
daughter, then ElizabetJi, then Sarah. We will leave it that way. The order
of their births given below is my conclusion from all the evidence I now have.
The births of four, and the death of one, are given in the Sudbury records,
where the family lived, approximately, from 1G38 to 1656. The birth of Moses
is given as occurring October 20, 1645, and also on March 26, 1646. There
could not have been two children bom at those dates. It might be the first
date is for the birth and the second the baptism. As the Middlesex Eecords do
not give the first date at all, and do give all the other dates we have of the
children's births, I follow that record.
Inasmuch as the birth of the son Isaac does not appear anywhere, I suppose
he was born about the time of the removal from Sudbury to Marlborough. In
the deed of 1684, Richard Newton mentions his son Isaac as ''caring for my wife,
his mother," signifying that his "wife Anna" was living in 1666 and 1684.
The following deeds are interesting for many reasons. I had abstracts of them
principally for any vital statistics they might contain, and not for the descrip-
tions of the lands. That I here indicate where they may be found, may incite
some one to a further search. I was told there was no paper with the auto-
graph of Richard Newton. "His mark" on the will and on tlie deeds seems
to be four perpendicular strokes of the pen, slightly curved at the top, bound
together by one horizontal stroke at the top: VlTl. In two of the deeds the
do^vn strokes are three only.
I do not know how much land, in acres, Richard Newton jjossessed. By these
deeds and by will he disposes of somewhere near 130 acres, more or less. But
the will was written in 1693, and the deeds were all passed before that date.
Notice that Isaac Amsden, "my loving friend," is one of the executors of the
will, and his son Joseph the other, while the son John, Sr., receives about all
there is left. I suppose that was following the English fashion that yet prevails
there, of giving the eldest son either a double portion or the whole estate.
I have not found that he was designated by any occupation other than
"husbandman." All of the colonists were tliat to a greater or less extent. One
writer styles him "Dea. Newton," but I find no church record of his holding
the office. His son Joseph did hold the office. Richard and his son ]\roses may
have, I do not know.

St. Boston. 1S27." The text is Eeclesiastes, 1 :4. The sermon of course has a
little history woven in and here is all of said history of interest to us. I copy
it word by word.
Notwithstanding the usual changes and revolutions iu human society, and the per-
petual fluctuations of property, and after the lapse of nearly one hundred and seventy
years it is evident from the great number of persons now living within the original
bounds of Marlborough, who bear the names of the fii-st proprietors, that their possessions
in many instances are now in the hands of their descendants.
The descendants of Richard Newton, one of the original petitioners, have occupied the
same farm, now within the bounds of Southborough, on which he lived and died, and
where his great-grandson Solomon Newton now lives (1827), aged ninety-three years, and
his descendants to the seventh generation. A rare instance in the History of families in
this ever changing world.
This is all it speaks about any Newtons. Then in the back part of the leaflet,
after the sermon, it gives the names of the original petitioners. In the list
of deacons from 1730-1822 are "Ciideon'' Newton chosen 1756," "Josiah^

j4 NEWTON GENEALOGY
From old series A'o. 11.310. Copied out of Book 10, 391-392, in the probate
office at East Cambridge. Mass., July 23, 1908, by Sumner F. Brown, of Xo. 18
Meacham Road, Xorth Cambridge, Mass. He says of it: "The Eichard Xewton
Will has no peculiarities of spelling but those you will notice and the professional
handwriting of that time with curious e, s, t, h, and other letters makes the
reading of it very 'slow at first. Capitals are where I put them and instead of
paragraphs each or some of the separate bequests the "And" is written large.
It is a handsome piece of work." And, also, "This will is well wrritten in old
style hand, some like German Text, on one large sheet of coarse rag paper,
which keeps its color, size about ten by twelve inches. Xo paragraphs but
written continuously from start to finish. Xinety minutes close work, and T
think it verbatim et Literatim, et punctuatim."
From the following data, together with that at hand from the records of
Xew England, it seems to me quite clear, that the wife of Eichard Xewton and
the mother of his children was Anne, younger daughter of Henry and Elizabeth
( ) Loker, of Bures St. Mary in the county of Essex, England, glover.
While I have not found the record of the marriage, nor the date of her birth,
nor the date of her death as proof, the circumstantial evidence is so great that
I am ready, tentatively, to accept the deductions here given as facts, until such
time as further discoveries shall disprove them. I make no pretense of being
authority on the subject. The evidence seems to point to the conclusion that
Anne Loker was the wife of Eichard Xewton. I gather data, sift, deduce,
arrange, and give you the result. Some one with wider knowledge will, I trust,
come after me, who will solve all problems. ,
You will notice the will of Henrie Loker spells the name of the younger
daughter, Ann and Anne. The records of Sudbury, Mass., give her name Anne,
Amie and Amy. I suppose the last two forms were intended for Annie and Anny.
It is not imi5ortant. They spelled all words every way in those days.
For myself I am ready to believe that Eichard Xewton had no other wife
than Anne Loker. I base this opinion upon the facts that there is neither the
death of his wife Anne, nor the marriage with his wife Hannah upon the
records of Sudbury or Marlborough, and that the name Hannah is many times
another form of the name Anna. Neither is this important. He may have had
a second wife.
"Hannah," the wife of Eichard Xewton is named in his will, and died at
Marlborough, December 5, IfiOT. In the record of her death, she is styled
"Hannah sr., w. Eichord." In the deed of Eichard Xewton to John Allen, March
2, IfifiS, of lands in Sudbury, "Hannah Newton" signs with him. Later, July
2, 1664. the same is endorsed and signed by "Hannah Xewton."
[Americans all know what English people do with the letter 11.]
"Hannah, d. Eichard and Anne." is the record of the death of their child.
"Daniel, s. Eichard and Anne," born Dec. 21, 1655, is the latest mention of
his wife, "Anne," until she signs with him to the deed to Peter Xoyes, of land
in Sudbury, October 1. 1666, where her name is written "Ann" and "Anna."
Xotice, this signature is after the signature of "Hannah," above in 1662 and
1664.

These Lokers were probably near relatives, how relate<l we have yet to learn.
I copy them hero that I may not leave out what might prove to be a clue to
further knowledge-
The nuncupative Will of Lucie Riddelsdale als Loker of the hamlet of Bures St. JIarie
in Essex, AVidowe, 1 Feb. 1592-3. She willed and beiiueathed her goods chattals first to
the discharge of her debts, and the apparelling of a child of hers called Hciieri/. which was
to be put forth apprentice, and the rest, by certain men of the parish indifferently chosen,
she willed to be equally divided among all her children, her son Danyell to have the first
and best part, the said Danyell appointed executor.

April 1593, and the commission issued to the executor named in the will. Inventory

It would not l)c hard to believe that this "Lucie Eiddelsdale als Loker,"
was the Lucye Loker above, buried February 3, 1592-3 ; and that her son
"Henrey" was the Henry Loker baptized February 7, 1576-7 — out- Henry Loker.
Supposing this to be fact, her son Henry who was to bo "put forth apprentice,"'
would be of proper age — that is, sixteen years old, and Daniel, John and William
above baptized might have been his brothers. Of course this is all my supposi-
tion. One cannot resist the temptation to theorize about these matters.

I consider this will of Robert Davis iniportaiit in establisliing the identity of
Ricliard Newton's wife. It would seem that this will and the will of John
Loker ought to be enough evidence. Eobert Davis calls Henry Loker his Brother
[-in-law, is intended], and John Loker mentions his "Sister Newton."
Again, the mention of "Joseph Newton £10, if he stay out his time," etc.,
would mean that having no son of their own, Davis and wife had contracted with
Newton and wife that one of their many sons should live for a specified time
with his aunt.
And yet, again, that his wife's sister's husband should bo a witness to the
will seems only natural.
Bur.v Saint Edmunds, now a city of 16,500 inhabitants, and Sudbur,y, now a
place of 7,000 people, both in the county of Suffolk, England, and Bures St.
Mary in the county of Essex, appear to have been in the Archdeaconry of
Sudbury — an ecclesiastical district. The two counties lie side by side, separated
by the river Stour, up which, about twenty miles from the head of the estuary
into which it flows, lies the town of Sudbury. Many of the first settlers of
New England came from this vicinity. It seems reasonable to suppose that
Richard Newton and Anne Loker were not strangers to Sudbury in England.
Neither of them were what you might call "very young" at marriage. If
Henry Loker, the father, was born 1577 and died 1631, he would be fifty-four
years of age at death. He might have married in 1600 or thereabout, and his
children all born before 1615. That we do not know. We do know that none
of the children were married in 1631 when he died.
The sons were old enough to carry on their father's business, glover, after his
death, and the older son was made one of the executors — showing that he was
not a (-hild.
In 1G3.S Ivubcrt Davis, aged 30, and his sister Margaret Davis, aged 26, came
over on the shi]> Confidence, as sen-ants of Peter Noyes; this would give their
birth-dates, 1608 and 1612, respectively. I fancy Bridget and Anne Loker's
birth-dates were not far from those two dates. ,
When Elizabeth Loker and her children came to New England does not yet
appear. They were in Sudburj' as early as the fall of 1638, and shared in the
divisions of the lands. The names of the sons appear frequently on the records,
showing them to have been active and enterprising citizens.
The home-lot of Henry Loker was on the Mill Road, Sudbury to Boston, not
far to the west of the millpond. Not far to the east, and between him and the
pond was the tavern of John Parmenter, Sr., probably the same John Parmiter
who, in England, witnessed the will of Henrie Loker, in 1630. Farther along to
the westward was the house-lot of John Loker. It was next to the meetinghouse
lot, and afterward the house and the orchard were bought by the town, from John
and his "Widow Mary Loker" — (she had a life interest in part of the house)
for the minister's house.
RICHARD NEWTON I7
Tte following gives in brief form the family of Anne Loker so far as it is
necessary here:
Hekrie Loker of Bures St. Jlary, in the county of Essex, England, glover; baptized
there February 7, 157C-7 ; will dated February 22, 1630, and proved April 15, 1631 ;
had wife Elizabeth , who with son Harry, was executor of his will. The
widow Elizabeth Loker came to Now England and died at Sudbury, Mass., March 3, 1G4S.
Their children were :
Hexry Loker, born in England ; proprietor at Sudbury, Mass., 1639 ; freeman. May
10. 1C43 ; married at Sudbury. JLarch 24. 1C47, Hannah Brewer, who died there Feb-
ruary 4, 1C70. He died there October 14, 1688.
John Loker, born in England ; proprietor at Sudbury, Mass., 1639 ; took oath of
fidelity, 1645 : freeman the following year ; married Mary Draper. He died at Sudbury,
June 18, 1653.
Bridget Loker, born in England; came to Sudbury, Mass.; married (1) Robert
Davis, who died July 19, 1655; married (2) December 26, 1655, Thomas King (2nd
wf. ) at and of Sudbury. She died the "Widow Bridget King," in Marlborough,
March 11, 1685.
Anne Lokee, born in England ; married Richard Newton, about 1640.
'J'hc will of JoiijJ Lokee of Sudbury, Mass., dated June 17, 1653, mentions his
wife, unnamed, who may marry again; one child under twenty-one years named
John Loher; his brother Henry LoTcer; his brother-in-law Robert Davis and
sister Bridget Davis; and continues; "My will is that my house and lande shall
be equally divided betweene my brother Henry Loker my sister Davis & my sister
Newton and I doe hereby 'make uiy wife my brother Henry Loker & my brother-
in-law Robert Davis to be my executors. ... In witness whereof I have here-
unto set my hand the 17"" day of June, 1653 this is the Marke of <-f John loker
set with his own hand in ye presence of Joseph Parmenter, Hugh. Griifen."
One of the appraisers was Eobert Davis. The will entire is below.
John Loker and wife Mary (Draper) had born in Sudbury, September 28,
1653, a daughter, l\[ary Loker, posthumous child; who with the above son,
John, Jr., were all his children. He died June 18, 1653.
There is no will of Henry Loker of Sudbury. In 1678, he deeded his whole
estate, "for love," to his son and daughter Jacob and Elizabeth Moore [Middle-
sex Co. Deeds, vol. 10, p. 93], and Jacob Moore, in 1697, deeded the same 130
acres, to his eldest son Jacob, for a like consideration [same, vol. 37, p. 517].
Elizabeth, daughter of Henry Loker, man-ied May 29, 1667, Jacob Moore, had
twelve children, and died December 14, 1690.

SECOND GENERATION AND CHILDREN
As an introduction to the second generation of Newtons in Marlborough and
to prevent undue repetition of events in which all of the inhabitants were
engaged, it seems fitting that I here give some account of conditions that obtained
at, and subsequent to, the death of Richard Xewton. I shall then be understood
as I record the events in which the several jiersons were concerned, if I merely
refer back to this, and thus escape the multiplying of words.
In "Queen Anne's War" the French and Indians made repeated incursions
into the colony, killing and carrying away captive the inliabitants (1701-1713).
August 8, 1704, this occurred in that part of Marlborough now Westborough ;
and again on the 18th of August, now the part that is Northborough. The men
and their families were in constant anxiety and danger. To protect the people

CHILDREN OF ItlClIAKIi NKWTON jg
of MarlborouKli the General Court made some provision for their defense, and
the people had erected a considerable number of forts in different parts of the
tovvnsliip to wliich they could resort in time of danger. Twenty-six forts, or
"garrisons" and "garrison houses," as they were called, were designated and
the families residing nearest each were so assigned. I will set down here only
those garrisons that have to do with the Newtons and their relatives.
No. 5. Isaac Amsden's Garrison. It was southeasterly of the East Village,
on the road to Southborough. "Deacon Newton," Thomas Newton and five other
families.
No. 6. Isaac Howe's Garrison. It was on the Southborough road near the
now Newton Eailway Station. Moses Newton, Moses Newton, Jr., John Newton.
Widow Johnson [nee Mary Kerley], David Fay and James Cady.
No. 15. Samuel Ward's Garrison. It was south of the meeting house. Jona-
than Johnson, Sr., William Ward, Widow Hannah Ward and Caleb Rice.
No. 10. John Mathews' (iarrison. It was in what is now Southborough.
William Johnson and Samuel Ward.
No. 17. Daniel Rice's Garrison. It was two miles easterly of the meeting
house. Widow Sarah Taylor. I thinly this was widow of William.
No. 23. Simon Maynard's Garrison. It was on the "Indian Plantation."
Joseph Newton and four other families.
No. 24. John Newton, Jr.'s Garrison. It was in what is now Southborough.
Eleazer Bellows, James Eager, James Newton, Benjamin Newton, Ephraim New-
ton, John Woods and Abraham Newton.
No. 25. Jonathan Newton's Garrison. It was in what is now Southborough.
Moses Leonard (m. Mercy Newton) and four other families.
As near as can be learned from tradition, this was the general location of the
garrisons in 1711, and tlius we learn the neighborhoods in which the different
families reside<:l.
In 1701 the town and church at Marlborough had the misfortune to lose their
minister. Rev. William Brimstead, who died on July 3 of that year. After his
decease an unfortunate misunderstanding arose that greatly disturbed the town.
It took the form at last in an opposition to the settlement of Rev. John Emer-
son of Ipswich to become their minister. The papers connected with this con-
troversy have been preserved, but fail to show the grounds of opposition. The
feeling was probably both iiersonal and sectional. Wliatever the troulile was,
we are indebted to it for two lists of men, which must have comprised nearly
all in the town at the beginning of the eighteenth century. Those who voted in
favor of Mr. Emerson were mostly from the west and those opposed to his
settlement were from the east part of the town. I will set down here only those
we are interested, more nearly, in. Among those to sustain, were the names of
James Taylor, Sr., Joseph Newton, Jr.. and his son Joseph Newton [b. 1699, d.
1713, the only third Joseph there was at that date].
Among those opposed were: John Newton^, Sr., and his sons John', Jr.,
Zaehariah''', Thomas', and John* (son of John', Jr.) ; Moses Newton=, Sr., and
his sons David' and Edward'; Daniel Newton, Joseph Newton, Sr.. James Tay-
lor^ and his son James", Jr.. and Jonathan Johnson.
November 19, 1717, Westborough was set off as a town. Twenty-five families
and six young men were so set off. Among them were Josiah Newton' (son of
Moses-), Thomas Newton' (son of John").
1 October 20, 1744, Westborough was divided, the northern part taking the
name of Northborough.
The Indian Plantation of 0,000 acres was annexed to Marlborough in 1719,
thus restoring its depleted size.
The people of "Stony Brook," as the south part of Marlborough was called,
applied to the town to be set off as a distinct municipality. After some delay
20 NEWTON GENEALOGY
a line was agreed upon, and the town joined in a petition "with the Stony
Brook men for a confinnation of said township." The territory was set ofi
and incorporated in 1727 by the name of Southborough. Six of the Newtons
signed the petition, and they and several other prominent families were cut
oil with their lands from the old town into the new town. And not only that,
but also a change of county has been made — Marlborough being in Middlesex
County, and Southborough in AYorcester County. Thus Southborough became
the home town of the Newtons of this branch of the family, where Richard and
his wife died and their deaths are recorded. Where they were buried is unknown
to me. but I suppose the interment was in the "Old Common Burial Ground"
in Marlborough.
In the French and Indian Wars, hefore 1757 — from 1711-17.50, inclusive,
Marlborough men had seen service both at home and abroad. But the rolls
are said to have been sent to England as vouchers, so no lists of the men are
found here. Many of them, however, are known to have served. Among them
were the following Newtons : In 1718, Gershoni Newton-'"', Jr., and Timothy New-
ton'' (sons of Ger.shoni'', Sr.) ; in 17.54 Timothy^ again; in 175G Gershom'',
Jr., again, and in the same year (1756) under Captain William Williams, at No.
4, Jonas Newton'' (son of Jesseniah^), and this Jonas Newton-* was out again
in the same com])any in 1760; also Archelaus Feltou at No. 4, 1756. and in 1760.
In 1757 two companies from Marlborough marched to the relief of Fort Wil-
liam Henry. In that of Lieutenant vStepheu ^Ma.-siianl was Micah Newton*
(son of Joseph^, Jr.), again.
In 1758 and 1759, on the rolls for the reduction of Canada, are the names,
among many others from Marlborough, of Daniel Newton-* (son of DanieP)
and John Newton^ (son of John-*).
February 5, 1737, certain gentlemen in the easterly part of the town were
desirous of being set off as a separate towni and sent in a petition asking that
they have returned to them "the money that wo shall pay toward the settlement
or gratuity of the minister" if they should be set off within three or seven years.
Among the fourteen men who signed the petition were Uriah Newton-* (son of
Joseph-', Jr.) and Nahum Newton* (son of Joseph', Jr.). The petition was not
granted as to a division of that part of the to-wn.
In 1757 (and before), on account of the "French and Indian Wars," the Gen-
eral Court required the whole people to be organized — the able-bodied for active
and more distant service, the older and those exempt from other causes on an
"Alarm List." In that year two large companies were organized in Marlborough,
to each of which was attached a list of alarm men. In Captain John Weeks'
company was Sergeant Micah Newton* (son of Joseph', Jr.), Uriah* (son of
Joseph-', Jr.), Uriah'' (son of Uriah-*), David Newton' (son of Uriah*), and in
the Alarm List of this company was William Newton* (son of Daniel'). In
the other company under Colonel Abraham Williams was Caleb Newton'> (son
of Jonathan*, Jr.).*
•Warnings. — Th« custom of "wai-niiip out of town" prevailod throiisliuiil llip rrovince.
■When a person not an inhabitant came to town to reside, sometimes only for an extended visit,
the net-son into whose family or tenement he came, was reqnired to give notice to the Select-
men, of the name of the person or persons, the place he came from, his pecuniary circum-
stances and the time he came to town. Knowing tliese facts, tlie town autlioi-ities would in
their discretion let them remain or ordei- them to he warned out of town. The ottject of
this was to prevent their gaining a settlement and becoming a public charge. Xo regard was
paid to age, character or sex so far as the notice of coming was concerned ; hut in the
warning, or "cautioning." a discretion was used.
There was a formality in the process of "warning out of tow-n'- which will appear in the
following example.

2. JOHN NEWTON^ SK. (Kichardi), son 'of Richard and Anno (Loker)
Newton of Sudbury and Marlborough, Mass., was bom at Sudbury, October 20,
1641, and died at Marlborough, October 16, 1723, aged 82.
lie married at Marlborough, January or June 5, 1666, Elizabeth Larkin, daugh-
ter of Edward and Joanua ( ■ — ) Larkin* of Charlestown, Mass., where
she was born 5-7-1641, and died at Marlborough, October 15, 1719.
John Newton, Sr., was a proprietor in Marlborough in 1660. November 26
of that year the inhabitants laid out their house-lots. John, with his father, had
been in the township two or three years previous to this division, which was
rather a confirmation than an original grant. His house-lot comprised sixteen
acres.
In 1664 there appears to have been a disturbance in the civil and ecclesiasti-
cal relations of the town, in the perfecting or forfeiture of the titles to the
several house-lots — grants for taxes — time for pajanent of rates, etc. Seventeen
of the inhabitants asked the General Court to appoint a committee with full
power to settle all their difficulties. John Newton and his father were among
those opposed to the appointment of a committee, alleging: "We are willing,
with our persons and estates, to uphold the Authority of the Country, and do
therefore desire the liberty of the law which gives towns power to transact
their own affairs."
John Newton, Sr., could claim all the rights in the lands of the town, as a
proprietor, that went with sixteen acres. At the same time he did not share
in the second division of upland. Against his name in that division are the
words "none due."
Of the first division of meadows, eiglit acres ; second division of meadows,
six and one-fourth acres, 24 rods; of Cedar Swamp eight acres; equal to 22J
acres 24 rods. He did not share in Cold Harbour, Middle and Chauncey Meadows,
as did his father. Of course at this time, 1663-|- he was a young man just com-
ing of age. His rate for the minister was 6 shillings 8 ponce. John Newton's
name is not among those who got the deed of the Indians, for tlie Indian.
Plantation, in 1684.
, During the Indian troubles that ended in 1713 his family was assigned to
No. 6, Isaac Howe's Garrison, on the Southborough Road.

1688. Taxes under Governor Andros. John Newton, Sr.'s rate was, "for
persons and estate," £00-11-05. [More than one poll.]
By the will of his father, John Newton, Sr., received the greater part of the
lands granted to Richard Newton, together with their rights of commonage, and
in the undivided lauds; and also the homestead, tools, cattle, swine, etc., which,
with his ovai property, must have been quite an estate for those times. Besides
being a farmer, his father styles him "house carpenter." It was customary for
a man to have some trade, as well as land. All were farmers.
While John Newton, Sr., appears to be a residuary legatee, his younger brother.
Joseph Newton, Sr.. was made one of the executors of their father's will, and
not himself.
John Newton, Sr., made his will four years before his death. Ilis wife was
living at the time, but he makes no mention of her. She died the same year,
aged 78. Neither does he mention his son Nathaniel and daughter Experience.
Pie makes his grandson, Gershom Newton (son of his son SamueP), residuary
legatee and sole executor; and Gershom, with his uncle, John Nevrton, Jr., gives
bond in £100 each, for the performance of the trust. In his will, John Newton,
Sr., signs with his mark. In his bond as surety for his son Samuel, he signs his
own name. This last-named bond yuu will find inider Samuel's heading, and
it explains itself.
In the bond here given, Gershom signs for himself and John, Jr., signs with
his mark. It seemed to be immaterial in those days which way a person signed.
John Newton-, Sr., and his brother Moses- were made freemen April 18, 1690.
The following deeds, given by John Newton, Sr., are selected for abstracting
because they show the disposition he made of his lands, provided for some of
those dependent on him and provided for the care of himself during his old
age.

§ Wii.Li.\M Johnson', one of the early settlers of Charlestown, Mass.. was born at Canter-
Iniry. Kont county, England, in l(i02 ; l)ocamo an inhabitant of Charlestown in l(i:i4 ; and was
made freeman of Massachusetts Colony, March 4, 1034-5. He was a Puritan ; of good educa-
tion, and brought with him from England a wife, and child, and means. He with his wife
Ei.izAu.ioTii joined the Charlestown church Feb. 1:3, 1034-5, of which they continued momliers
until death. He was a man of energy and business methods. Within the first four years of his
residence, he was assessed for ten separate parcels of land, which he cultivated — a farmer —
"planter" he calls himself in conveyances. This was his loading business. Possessing a
clay-pit. he was also a brickmakor — a secondary occupation. His hmiso-lot fronted lull feet
on the now JIain Street of Charlestown, near the present Square, and was about 120 feet
deep. On this lot stood the house in which all his eight children were born except the
eldest, and in which he died. There were also on the lot two barns and two brickmaking
kilns. He held several town offices. His signature is that of a practical penman. He had
but the one wife, Elizarbth Story, whom he married in 10:jo [White Family Quarterly,

August 14, 1641. He died at Marlborough April 12, 1712, aged 71. By oceupa-
tiou he was a blacksmith, also fanner, and in the latter part of his life he
taught the town .school. He was well educated; his father also gave him a trade
and made him a legatee in his will. He received his share in his father's and
mother's estate in 1087, £20 in about "an acre and a half of land in the East-
field," which in 1707 he sold to his nephew for £30. The records show seven
conveyances of real estate to and from him.
Before his marriage he went to reside in Marlborough about 1662. There can
be no doubt as to whose son he was, for the Records of the Selectmen of Charles-
town make a note of the fact that Jonathan John.son "came to town, to his
fatlier William's house, from Marlborough, April 15, 1670."
On settling in Marlborough be received from the town the house-lot of 30
acres that had been set apart for a smith in the first division. The lot was one
of the most eligible in the village, being located directly south of the Old Com-
mon, "on a hill south side of the Meeting-house." Half of this he sold May
25, 1663, but bought it back, February 15, 1678-9. He was the first blacksmith
in Marlborough. The following is the town's order and the conditions of his
holding: At a meeting of the town March 29, 1063, among other matters, "It
was orde'''' that Jonathan Johnson shall have the Thirty Acres of upland formerly
granted to A smith with all acconnnodaco[ns] Answ'ble & suitable thereunto,
on Condition y' the s"^ Jonath[an] doe dwell in this Towne seven yeares, & doe
the Townes w'orke as A Smith, & also if he at y'= seven yeares end leav[e] the
Towne doe his endeav'' to settle anoth'' Smith in his Roome, both w'''' if hee doe
the s'' Land & accomodacons sha[ll] bee his, & his heirs & Assigns forever: John
Ruddocke, Recorder." The rate he was to pay to the minister apportioned May
7, 1603, was 6 shillings. Having sold half of his homelot, his portion of the
other divisions — meadow and swamp lands — were proportionately smaller. Of
the 2d division of uplands he had 3| acres, 1st division of meadows 7i acres,
2d of meadows, 6 acres, of Cedar Swamp, 7i acres ; of Cold Harbor, Middle and
. Chauncey meadows, of each, four acres. := 51|. He also bought in with others,
without the consent of the C^ourl, and thus illegally, some of tlie Indian reserva-
tion "Plantation." In 1088, his taxes under Governor Andres were for person
and estate, 04s. 02d. In 1085 he bought of Prudence Russell, 20 acres in Marl-
borough. In 1694, he sold the same to T. Russell. His name appears on other
legal papers, as witness, etc.
Jonathan Jolmson, Sr., of Marlborough was freeman July 21, 1085. Jonathan
Johnson, Sr., in his lifetime gave to his children and grandchildren portions
of his property and disposed of the rest by will, making his wife and only sur-
viving child, William, executors, and the latter residuary legatee. The will is

CHlLI>i:iL\ OF UK'IIAKI) NEWTOX 29
dated March 18, 1711-12. No inventory was returned. The will begins by say-
ing: "I recomend my Soul to the hand of God that gave it me hoping through
the Death and merits of Jesus Christ, to obtain pardon of all my sins and to
inherit Eternal Life, and my Body I comit to the Earth . . . nothing doubting
but at the Gencrall Resurection I shall receive the same againe by the mighty
power of God."
He gives his homestead and all his personal property to his wife, Mary, "for
her conrfortable subsistance during her widowhood with free leave of acts of
charity"; "with the advice and consent of the Minister and Deacon, to sell of
the outland for her comfort : and if she should marry," then what he has given
to her is to go to his son William, who "if she should be in want to take fillial
care of her." He says he had given to his son Jonathan, while alive, and his
wife since his death, his portion : "but still, my fatherly love is so to his chil-
dren," etc., whom he names, he gives small sums. To his daughter Mary's hus-
band he gives his "Coopering Tools," showing he had yet another trade, and
"As to my dau. Mary Mathes, though she be dead yet I remember her"; and
says he had completed her portion by a deed of land to her children, and appoints
his son William trustee of this deed. To his grandson Joseph, Jonathan's young-
est son, a lot of land. To granddaughter Hannah, who was living with him,
£20. To Huldah Whitney, £G, if she remain with his wife till 18 years old.
He "wills" his son William to take good care of his son Thomas while he lives.
The widow Mary Johnson survived her husband 16 years, and did not marry
again. It is pleasant to think of her living quietly by herself in the homestead,
"on a hill south of meeting house" and "the Old Common." The house was
near the garrison-house of Samuel Ward, Sr., to which the family of Jonathan
Johnson, Sr., was assigned.
It was not until after January 10, 1699, when the town voted to build a
schoolhouse, that "Mr. Jonathan Johnson was employed as a schoolmaster
several years in succession." At that date he was 58 years old. I like this
kindly old man, who is my ancestor. Capable in so many lines — farmer, black-
smith, cooper, active and energetic in business during his prime; then studious
and passive, and a schoolmaster ; during the last thirteen years of his life,
with his equally aged wife, gracefull.v waiting till their change come.
Since writing the above I have obtained a verbatim cop.v of the will of Jona-
than Johnson. I will not re-write; but will give both as they are. The will
shows the manner of the times, and the particular care that nothing be over-
looked.

his brother John's wife. The date of her birtli is not given ; but it would
be about 1645 or 1646, as she is placed in the order of her father's children.
She was the mother of all of Moses Newton's cliildren. She died at Marlborough,
December 2.5, 1713. "Wife of Moses Sr."
He married (2) at Marlborough, Ajn-il 14, 1714, Sarah Joslin, whom I suppose
to be daughter of Nathaniel and Sarali (King) Josliu'*' of Lancaster, and after
the destruction of that town of Marlborough, whose will, dated 1694, mentions
several daughters besides daughter Sarah, and sons Nathaniel and Peter. Peter's
family was killed by the Indians, 1692. Nathaniel (the son) lived in Marl-
borough, and requests an administrator for his sister, Sarah Newton's estate,
as below. She was probably born at Lancaster, and the town record of it was
destroyed. Born about 1660.
To us who are not familiar with such documents, having no furtlier need
of them, the contract of marriage given below, of Moses Newton and Sarah Jos-
lin, is interesting. Interesting, also, for its many signatures. Here Moses New-
ton signs with his mark. On tlie inventory of James Taylor's estate he sig'ns
his own name; as also hero do his brother, Joseph Newton, Sr., and Nathaniel
Joslin. Sarah Joslin seems to have had enough of "whether money moveables
Lands or whatsoever:" to require that the court appoint an administrator of
her estate; and at the request of her brother, Nathaniel Joslin, Isaac Temple
of Marlborough was so appointed. lie calls him, "my Brother Isaac Temple."
Isaac Temple and Martha Joslin, married 1699, in Marlborough, may be the ones,
and probably were.
Sarah, "wife of Moses Newton, Sr.," died at Marlborough, November 4, 1723,
aged 63. The following March 9, 1724, her brother asked to have an adminis-
trator appointed, and on June 1, 1724, Isaac Temple was appointed and gave
bond in the sum of £100.
In regard to the present condition of these old legal papers, the copyist states
of the marriage contract: "This was too faint for me to trace, and has been
through the emery process, as it is all to pieces." Of the second paper — the
request for administrator : "This was a small slip of paper and has been emery
processed." Of the fourth paper — api^ointment of administrator: "This is a
large sheet of good rag paper, and written in large hand on the upper half of
the sheet." Number three paper is the bond of usual wording, the body of it
omitted here. [See the Bond in administration of Edward Newton's' estate.]
There was no inventory or other papers.

Moses Newton received his ijortion of liis father's estate during the father's
lifetime. It was probably part of the thirty acres granted to Richard Newton
for a house-lot, and was what in the will is described as "bounded, Eastward
with the land of my son Moses" of the land given to son John. The records also
mention "lands granted to Moses Newton," and again, "Some plats of Land
excepted Granted to Moses Newton sen' a Liberty to make use of the stream of
Stony Brook And the use of the Land about where his Iron works are."
I was glad to find this about the "Ironworks." Very many of the Newrtons
of the Richard branch have been blacksmiths, gunsmiths, etc., workers in iron.
The genius for it seems something inherent. They called them "Smiths" in
those days, and the ability to be a "Smith" was counted as an asset to the
town one lived in.
What these Ironworks of Moses Newton, Sr., were I do not know. It was
probably a smelter, or a blomary, or a foundry; something more than a
blacksmith's shop. They did things in a small way in those days, but got the
results they desired. Wliat leads me to think the ironworks at Southborough
was of the kind above mentioned is that it is said by the historian of Sudbury
that witliin the present [1800] century, iron ore dug in the town was laden on
boats at Old Town Bridge and taken down Sudbury river to Chelmsford.
Moses Newton, Sr., was of those who bought lands in the Indian Plantation
and got illegal deeds. What his venture was in acres does not yet appear.
Some of this — 34 acres of it, he sold in 1700, to Daniel Rice [see below].
In 1G88, taxes under Governor Andros, Moses Newton, persons and estate,
£00-06-04.
In the controversy over the settlement of Rev. Mr. Emerson, Moses Newton
and his sons David and Edward were opposed to it. He became freeman April
18, 1690. This of course carried church membership with it. In one mention
of him which I have seen he was styled "Deacon Moses Newton." I do not know
about that. In the Indian wars and troubles 1700-1713, Moses Newton, Sr., his
son Moses, Jr., and John Newton \vith their families were assigned to Isaac
Howe's Garrison, No. 6, which was on the road to Southborough, near the now
Newton railroad station.
In the settlement of the "Garrison of the West Regiment of Sliddlesex, March
1692," there were stationed in Marlborough 113 men. Of these, twelve men
were apportioned to a group of Moses Newton and five other families.
Moses Newton and his wife, Joanna, were members of the church at Marl-
borough. They had their son Edward baptized in the First Church in Charles-
towm. that being the church of her parents. The record there is: Baptized,
3-4-1676, "y'' son of Moses Newton & Joanna his wife, of y^ ch of Xt in ilarl-
borough." In regard to this wife Joanna, I desire to call attention to the fact
that she was permitted to put her "mark and seal" to at least one of the deeds
by which her husband conveyed his real estate. It was not then customary, I
am told, nor needful, that the wife sign.
In King Philip's War, Marlborough, being a frontier town, was severely
checked in its growth by the invasion of the savages. Though there were soldiers
CHILDREN OF RICHARD NEWTON 35
stationed there (some in the home of Moses Newton were billetted), yet so
stealthy was the approach of the Indians, that the troops afforded little pro-
tection. After a while they were withdrawn. Within four days after the with-
drawal of the troops the Indians again appeared. The following I qnote from
Mr. Packard's account of the town, as given in Barbei''s Historical Collection.
The story is told in many other books; but in whatever phraseology the story
rmis Moses Newton is given credit for being the hero of the day. It is stated,
that "on a Sabbath, when Mr. Brimstead was in sermon, March 20, 1G76, the
worshiping assembly was suddenly dispersed by an outcry 'Indians at the door.'
The confusion of the moment was instantly increased by a fire from the enemy;
but the God whom they were worshiping shielded their lives and limbs, excepting
the arm of one, Moses Newton, who was carrying an elderly and infirm woman to
a place of safety. In a few minutes they were sheltered in their fort with the
mutual feelings peculiar to such a scene. Their meeting house, and many
dwelling-houses, left without protection, were burnt. Fruit trees pilled and
hacked and other valuable effects rendered useless, perpetuated the barbarity of the
savages many years after the inhabitants returned . . . many left their farms
until the seat of war was farther removed." Hudson, in his history of Marl-
borough, states that Moses Newton "received a ball in his elbow, from the
effects of which ho never fully recovered."
There are many deeds on record conveying lanrls to and from Moses Newton,
Sr. Some "lots and parcels" ho received from his father, some by grants from
the proprietors of Marlborough and the Indian Purchase, and some by pur-
chase f'-om the other proprietors. I have taken from the records only a few of
these deeds — those that he gave to his sons — making a specialty of them, as being
somewhat historical of himself and of them. I give an abstract of them here,
all in one place, where they can be the more easily consulted. He began to
settle some of his lands on his sons in 1702, and continued to one after another
the gifts until all had had a portion. In 1713 he made over his homestall
(containing over 140 acres') to his two sons, Jacob and Ebenezer, who were then
unmarried and living with him. In 1722 Ebenezer married a niece of his
mother (who bore the same name) and in 1724, Moses. Jacob and Ebenezer
made other deeds, dividing the property their father had given thein jointly.
Moses Newton was part owner of other lands in Marlborough, which were sold.
Abstracts of two such deeds are here given.
First and last Moses Newton, Sr., was quite a large landholder for those
times. Just the extent of his holdings is unknown to nie. There was certainly
the more than 2.30 acres he gave to five of his sons ; and the more than 140
acres of homestead settled on the sons Jacob and Ebenezer; with the interest
in "A certain lot of land, Quonsiganiog Farm," acreage not given, and the
part interest in the tract of more than 360 acres conveyed in 1725. As for the
other deeds, they may be consulted.

warraiitee deed Reecived, Cambridge .luly 13, 1725
Wlietlier or not Moses Newton, Sr., was more than an ordinary sort of a man,
I have no data at hand. That he was chivah'ous, and ready to come forward in
defense of his own rights and the rights of the comniunity, is shown in his
active defense against the Indians and his firm stand for political freedom.
That he was a good citizen and had the confidence of his fellow townsmen is
shown in the fact that he was elected selectman of the new town of South-
borough, at its first meeting in 1727. That he had and transmitted many of
the traits of character that are noticeable in his descendants now living, there
can be no doubt, — we see and recognize tliem frequently. It is written that the
evil men do shall descend to the third and fourth generation; but that their
good deeds affect their posterity for a tliousand years.
The year after Mr. Newton had given his homestead to his two sons, with
the life interest for himself and his wife, his daughter Mercy died, leaving her
new-born babe to her father to bring wp, and she was with them during the
remainder of his life. His wife died in 1723. In 1724 he made his will —
twelve years before his death, and as many of widow'erhood. It is pleasant to
think he had the little granddaughter, Mercy Leonard, to cheer and comfort
during those last years.

Hannah', b. Dec. 20, 1073 ; d. at Marlborough, "wife of John Bellows, Dec,
11, 1719. aged 40." Where and when she married John Bellows the records
do not show, but probably the time was about 1094. He was son of John
and Mary (Woodi Bellows of Concord and Marlborough, and born in the
latter town May V->. 1000. He married (2) Aug. 30, 1723, Sarah Johnson,
by whom he had two children. The family lived in Marlborough, where all
of the children were born. In the time of the Indian troubles, 1711, this
family was assigned to the garrisons house of John Newton. The will of
Moses Newton, Sr., mention "my Son in Law John Bellows," in 1724, and
also, in another "Item," gives to the "Children of my Daughters Hannah
Bellows and Mercy Leonard Deed :" Thus there is no question about this
marriage. [Some have thought she married William Orcutt, Jr.] Her ten

of his estate does not appear. There is no probate record of the settlement
of it. He was made joint guardinn with his father of Mercy Leonard, his
sister's daughter. She had married in 1732 — thus the guardianship ended
before the death of his father. See the deeds of gift and the father's will
for further record of him.

82. viii. Mercy', bom Feb. 10, IGSO ; died al thi> birth of hei- daughter, Mercy', which
occurred at Marlborough Dec. 1, 1714. She married at Marlborough May
15, 1705, Moses Leonard,* son of John and Sarah (Chandler) Leonard, of
Bridgewater, Mass., probably born there, about 1677, and died at Barre,
Mass., "Lt. Moses Leonard," Dec. 10, 1775, "aged about 98," G. S. They
lived in Marlborough, where their three children were born. lie married
(2), possibly at Marlborough, Aug. 8. 171G, Mrs. Hannah (Woods) Wither-
bee, who bore him two children, and died Sept. 7, 1751, and he married
(3) (int. in Dudley, Nov. 12, 1757), Sarah Hall, "widow of Thomas
Hall late of Dudley." She was living in 1770. While in Marlborough
Moses Leonard lived in that part which became Southborough. In the
Indian troubles his family was assigned to No. 25, Jonathan Newton's
Garrison — brother of Mercy'. After the death of Mercy, his wife, Moses
Leonard bought land in Worcester and removed there in 1717, where he
became prominent in the affairs of the town, and Ensign of militia. He
was a person of energy and thrift, as the number of conveyances by him
would indicate. In these conveyances he is styled farmer, Yeoman, Inn-
holder, Gentleman. He bought in, and removed to, in .succession, Brooklield,
Hardwick, Leicester, Rutland (and its several "Districts") and last Barre,
where he died. Their children were:
83. 1. itoscs* Leonard, Jr., b. Nov. 1, 1700; m. (1) ILarriet Beulah , who
died 1780; m. (2) 1782, Mrs. Hannah (Gassett) Rice; 10 children. He
died 1788 ; res. Worcester, Barre and Warwick ; farmer, "cordwainer" ;
active citizen.
84. 2. E:ra* Leonard, b. Sept. 19, 1711 ; m. 1737, Olive Smith, dan. of Benjamin
of Roxbury and Hardwick. She died 1798, aged 85 ; 10 children. Res.,
Hardwick, where he was an active and trusted citizen, and removed, 1797,
to So. Wilbrahani. where both he and his wifi' died. He died 1798. in his
87th year.
85. 3. Mercy* Leonard, b. Dec. 1, 1714; d. June 5, 1795, at Bennington, Vt. We
seem to be more interested in this child of Mercy (Newton) Leonard,
because the mother died at her birth and gave the child to Moses Newton,
who brought her up, and had her with him until she nmrried — a child, as
it were, of his old age. He gives to her in his will about the same portion
that it was then usual to give to a daughter when she marries, and pro-
vides that she shall be maintained from his substance until she does marry.
But he lived to see her settled in life. She married May 29, 1732, Samuel
Robin.son, Jr., sou of Samuel and Sarah (JIanning) Robinsont of Cam-
• Leonard, sometimes written Leonardson, Lunnerson and Lennee, is always written by
the family Leonard. Solomon Leonard (prob. the son of Samuel) seems to have emigrated
first from England to Loyden, Holland, with liis father, and later to New England. He was
in Duxbury before 1G37. The bond given by his son to settle his father's estate was dated
Oct. 27, 1675. He was an original proprietor of Bridgewater, Mass.. and settled theje. His
wife was Mary , who survived him. The names, without birth dates, of his children,
are all that can be found, namely; Hnnmcl'-, b. abt. 104o. m. (1) Abigail Wood, m. (2)

briilge. wliere lie wns born 1707. lie went to England as agent for tlie New
Hampshire grants in 176G and died of smallpox in Loudon, Eng., 1707. By
tliis marriage she became the "mother of the six illustrious Robinson
brothers of Bennington, Vt." She was herself "a remarkably intelligent
and energetic woman" — one who could not fail to receive favorable com-
ment. In these days she would have been a leader among women. After
marriage they moved to Grafton, where her oldest child was born and died.
About 1736, the family moved to Ilardwick, where for a quarter of a
century Samuel Robinson, Jr., was one of the most prominent citizens :
Selectman 10 years; Asses.sor 0 years; Town Clerk 4 years; Dca. of the
church 174G, resigned and became Dea. of a new organization, the "Sep-
arate Church" ; Capt. in French war 17.50 to 1759. He organized a com-
pany of families that removed from Hardwick to settle the town of
Bennington, Vt., in 1701. In Bennington he was the acknowledged leader
of the band of pioneers. He "seemed born to command." With parents
of this character, it is not surprising that their children should possess
qualities of mind that bring men and women to the front. Her children,
born in Hardwick, were :

5. DEACON JOSEPH NEWTON^ (Eichard'), son of Richard and Anne
(Loker) .Newton from England, and of Sudbury, ]^Ias3., was probably born tliere
some time between 1647 and 1652. He died at Marlborotigh, Mass., September
24, 1727.
He married Katberine Woods, who died at Marlborough, January 26, 1716-17.
She had four children. I suppose Elizabeth Woods, who married Josiah New-
ton'' (son of Moses=), was related to this wife of Deacon Joseph Newton. That
she was brought up in his family is not impossible; that he gave her a mar-
CHILDREN OF RICIIAItl) NEWTOX 43
riage portion and remembered her in his will is sure. The parentage of either is
unknown to me.
He married (2) at Marlborough, August 1, 1719, Euth Stone. I suppose her
to be daughter of John-* (Samuel- Gregory^) and Rachel (Shepard of Concord)
Stone of Cambridge, born there Augiist 27, 1700. She was living September 2,
1727, and signed with the other heirs for the probating of her husband's will.
Joseph Newton, Sr., was very young when his father moved from Sudbury to
reside in Marlborough. His father had five sons, all of whom may have been born
before he left Sudbury. There would need to have been provided habitation
before the family could remove into a wilderness. It is possible that the son
Joseph was left behind with his aunt, Mrs. Bridget (Loker) Davis, when
the family of his father went to their now home, and that later it was arranged
that he should stay with her a specified terra of years. Mrs. Davis having only
the one child, and that a. little girl, could very well accommodate and nuike use
of a boy in the family. When his uncle, Robert Davis, died, 1G.55, Joseph Newton
could have been only a small child. [See mider Richard Newton, for will of
Robert Davis.]
As the second generation in Marlborough advanced in years and prepared to
settle in life, the fathers gave them portions, and the town, grants of land.
Thus we find, on the records, mention of lands granted to Joseph Newton and
liis fatJior mentions in his will that Joseph, Sr., had received his i:)ortion and
was to have but two shillings additional '"and no more." But Richard Newton
makes this son, Joseph, Sr., to be executor of his will.
On the records is a petition of Joseph Newton and Thomas Barrett, granted,
for exchange of land with John Perry. Joseph Newton was one of those present
at the meeting, October 1, 1675, to adopt measures for defense against the
Indians, and to him was assigned some of the town's amnumition.
In 1C84 Joseph Newton, Sr., was one who bought in, and received a deed in
the Indian Plantation. Later his son was a proprietor of lands there — perhaps
the same lands. July 21, 1G85, Joseph Newton, Sr., of Marlboroug'h and his
brother-in-law, Jonathan Johnson, Sr., were made freemen. In the case of
Joseph Newton this was certified to March 26, 1691.
The taxes under Governor Andros show Joseph Newton, Sr.'s, rate to have
been for "persons and estate," £00 05s. Old.
March 18, 1C91-2, soldiers of the colony, 113 men, were sent for the protec-
tion of the town. Families were grouped. Seven families were grouped and
eleven men quartered there. The families of Joseph Newton, Sr., his son
Joseph, Jr., his two brothers-in-law, Jonathan Johnson, Sr., and James Taylor,
Sr., his brother, Daniel, i^r., the Widow Fay and John Bellows were in this
group.
In the controversy over tlie settlement of Rev. John Emersoii as pastor of the
church at Marlborough, Joseph Newton, Sr., was opposed, while his son Joseph,
Jr., and grandson Joseph. .3d, were for it. [I think this last Joseph is a repeti-
tion of the name of Joseph-, Jr., ns the third Joseph was born in 1099.] During
the Indian troubles that ended 1713, Deacon Joseph Newton was assigned to
No. 5. Isaac Ainsden's Garrison, "on the Southborough road, near the now
Newton railway station."
As a member of the First Congregational Church of Marlborough, Joseph
Newton, Sr., was elected Deacon June 1, 1710, and continued in that office till
his death.
Deacon Joseph Newton made his will April 18, 1726, more than a year before
his death. Being then "in Bodily health and of Sound and Perfect mind and
memory," ho sigiied his own name to it. Many of the old wills are signed by the
testator's "mark"; because the will is made so short a time before the death
44 NEWTON GENEALOGY
occurs, or from his feebleness due to advanced age; even wlien lie can write
very well. It was not then considered necessary for a woman to know how to
write. And even if she could do so, her modesty was so great that she would not
Sign her name lest she should be thought vain or egotistical. Thus Joseph
Newton's wife and daughters signed with a mark.
By his will. Deacon Joseph Newton makes his son, Joseph, Jr., residuary
legatee and sole executor. He calls himself, "yeoman." He gives his dwelling-
house, bams, mills, and all other lands he possesses to his grandson, Jezzaniah
Newton, son of Joseph-, Jr., on condition he fulfills the trust regarding his wife,
Ruth — these conditions clearly specified and her needs provided for. Other-
wise all that he gives Jezzaniah is to go to Joseph Newton, the executor.
Jezzaniah had married January 5, 172.5, — about fifteen months before tliis will
was made — Deliverence Newton^, daughter of John", Jr., and from the read-
ing of the will, one would infer the young people were living in the house with
Deacon Joseph Newton and his wife. Not necessarily as one family, but as
occupying the same building as two families. They evidently found the arrange-
ment congenial and desired to make it permanent. The mills mentioned might
be cider mills or grist mills. He divides his moneys and household stuff between
his daughters, and remembers tlie granddaughters who have at some time lived
with them and sen'ed them, probably in their school days and teens, and the
books mentioned in each case were mostly school-books ; the same applying to
Elizabeth Newton, wife of Josiah (son of Moses-, Sr.).
Notice there is no mention of cattle, or stock of any kind, in the will. These
had probably already been disposed of to Jezzaniah or others, by sale or gift.
There is no inventoi-y with the will. I like this will. I think it wag a
shrewd proviso that the daughter Ilamiah divide the household stuff into
equal parts, and then daughter Tabitha have first choice of them.
Deacon Joseph Newton was not so very old when he died — perhaps V-t would
cover his years. We do not know.
Joseph Newton's will is interesting for the number of autographs. It was
well written and has been well preserved. The papers in the Probate Court are
the will, the petition to the court for probate, and the allowing of the will.
There is no inventory of the estate on file, as I understand.
Note that in the following abstract of deed from "Joseph, Senor" to his
brother Daniel, as also the deed of gift from Richard Newton' (which see) to
his son Joseph, he is called "weaver."

In connection with the following deed, given by the then living children of
Dea. Joseph Newton- to "Benjamin Woods, trader." what apparently was the
homestead of "our late teacher, James Woods of Marlborough," I would sugg'est
that this James Woods, — "teacher" or "minister" in those days — may have been
their grandfather, father of their mother Katherine Woods. (Will some one
look into the matter?) Perhaps he was their uncle.

6. ELIZABETH NEWTON- (Riehfird'). (liuis-'iter of Richard and Anne
(Loker) Newton, from England to Sudbury, Mass., was born, place not recorded,
about 1650, more or less. She died at Marshfield, Mass., the "wid. of Jacob
Dingley," and was buried at Marshfield, March 30, 1718. In 1693, her father
mentions her in his will in this wise: "unto each of my two daughters, namel,y
Elizabeth Dingley, sen'' .... I bequeath Two Shillings, and no more, because
I have given a portion to each already, these shillings shall be paid . . . within
Two months after my decease." At this date she had been a widow for two years,
and she continued in that condition the remainder of her life.
She married at (I suppose Marlboro'), about 1668 or 1669, Jacob Dingley, Sr..
sou of John and Sarah (Chilling-worth[ ?]*) Dingle.y:|: of Sandwich and Marsh-
field, Mass., who was bom , 1642, and died at Marshfield, August 18, 1691.
Where they resided during their married life and where their children were
born, I have not obtained. Their children, as copied from the Maine Historical
Register [Vol. 2, p. 120], together with what I have taken from the Marshfield
records, are as follows. That four of the daughters should have been married
at Mar.shfield, and the parents should have died there, would seem to indicate
that town as the family home — between the years 1698 and 1727, at least. The
children probably were born in one, or both, of those towns — Sandwich and
Marshfield. I have tried to find the wnll of Jacob Dingley. but have not been
successful.
•Thomas CHiLLi.xtiWURTHi was probably the only male I'hillinKVVurth in New England in
the seventeenth century. After a short residence In Lynn and Sandwich. Mass., he settled at
Marshfield and was a Hepresentative in 1648 and lfi.-)L'. lie was one of the men there able to
bear arms in 1643. The administration on his estate was granted, March 1652-3, to his widow,
Joanna. The inventory was taiien by John Dingley, Arthur Rowland and John Russell, and
was exhibited at Court June 7, 16.T3. Amount, £180. The will of Thomas Hampton of
Sandwich. March IKST, Rives to Thomas Chillingworth. and to other names. Ills widow
married (2) Tbomas Dogget. She was buried at Marshfield Septemljer 4, 1684. Mr. Cbilllng-
worth had four daughters and no son: 1. Ellzahith", b. ; d. Sept. 28. 1665, unm.
2, Uehitabel-, b. ; m. May 2, 1661, Justus Eames of Marshfield. 3, ilory-, b. ;
m. about 1663, Dea. John Foster of JIarshfield. 4, tiarah^, b. ; m. Samuel Sprague,
"the last Secretary of Plymoutli Colony." It is questioned whether she was the wife also of
John Dingley, or wdiether another Sarah ^^■as. I do not know.
* John Dingley'. bom in England in li'iii.s. is said to have been in Lynn, Mass.. as early as
1637. The settlement of the town of Sandwich, Mass., was commenced by a number of families
from "Saugus," the early name for Lynn, in 1637. The original grant was from the Old
Colony of Plymouth tlie same year. There were fifty-six proprielors, who were given "liberty
to view the place to sit down on" and form a town, among whom is the name of John
Dingley'. August. 1643, in the list of all males at Sandwich, between the ages of 16-60 years,
inclusive, able to bear arms, is the name of John Dingley' ; as also his name in a Marshfield
list the same year, fortynine such men. The earliest list of freemen, fallen about 1644 — only
eleven were of Marshfield — one was John Dingley'. June 7, 1653, John Dingley^ with
Arthur Howland and John Russell took the inventory of the estate of Thomas Chillingworth
of Marshfield. Amount. £180. Also, inventory of the estate of William Haloway of Marshfield,
taken (no date) by John DiNiii.EY', liobert Carver and John ItusscU, Amount. £6.j. l.'is. John
Dingley', was buried at Marshfield, , 1658. The Maine Historical Register gives
Sarah as the name of his wife. "Chillingworth," states one in Boston Tiiiiiaci ipt, newspaper.
The children of John Dingley' as here given are not in their order, and may not be all of
them. I give them as I have found them in the above-mentioned authorities : 1, John
Dingleii, Jr.', b. ; d. ("son of John"), buried at Marshfield. July 9, 1665. 2, Maifi
Diiiyley'. b. ; m. at JIarshfield Dec. 10, 1654, Lieut. Josiah Standish=, and "dyed and
was buried at Duxhorough July 1, 1665." This is the record of her marriage and death. The
History of Bridgewater has that she married and died the same year. She is the daughter-in-
law mentioned in the will of Captain Myles Standish, near whose grave and that of his
daughter Lora be desired to be buried. .Josiah Standish^ was second son of ('ajitain Jlyles' ;
lived awhile in Bast Bridgewater ; moved to Duxbury aliont 1686, where he became a prom-
inent citizen ; and removed to Norwich, Conn. He married (2) Sarah Allen, and is mentioned

7. SARAH NEWTON^ (Richard^), tlaugliter of Richard and Anne (Loker)
Newton, from England to Siidlniry, Mass., was born probably at Sudbury, and
between tlie years 1645 and 1655. The executor of his will named by her hus-
band refusing to serve, the widow was appointed by the Court; her exhibit of
the inventory of the estate, as administrator, was made October 10, 1713 ; thus
we know she was living at that date. She would then have been sixty years old,
or thereabout. Her death, I do not find, and she may have married again, as
was the fashion for widows in those days.
Slie married about 1670, — the record does not appear, — James Ta.ylor, Sr., one
of the early proprietors of Marlborough, although not of the firstcomers. His
name appears with grants of land and divisions of the Cow Commons, about
the time, and along with the names of the children of the petitioners for Marl-
borough. Where he came from, and who he was, I have not traced. The
family lived in Marlborough, and near to Daniel Rice's Garrison, No. 17,
"some two miles easterly of the Meeting House" — if she is the "Widow Sarah
Taylor" so assigned. Some of his land "bounded" with land willed by Richard
In tile will of her father, Samuel Allen of Braintreo, as his son-in-law. 3, Saralt Dinfilei/'.

9. DANIEL NEWTON=, SR. (Riehardi), son of Richard and Anne (Loker)
Newton from England to Sudbury and later of Marlborough, Mass., was born
at Sudbury, December 21, 1055, and died at Southborough, Mass., November
29, 1739.
He married at Marlborough, December 30, 1679, Susanna Morse, daughter of
Joseph and Susanna (Shattuck) Morse* of Groton and Watertown, Mass. She
was born at Groton, January 11, 16C2-3, and died at Southborough, May 13,
1729. She was his only wife, and the mother of eleven children.
Daniel Newton, Sr., lived in Marlborough, Mass. All of his children were
born there.
In the deeds given below he calls himself ''husbandman" and "yeoman,"
which are words then used for farmer. In one deed he mentions "my interest
in the Grist Mill at Stony Brook."
In all these deeds he signs with his "mark & seal."
Daniel Newton, Sr., as a very young chihl, removed with his parents from
Sudbury to Marlborough, and continued to reside in the same place the rest of
his life, although the name of his part of the town became Southborough.
His father gave him his portion; he married and settled, and his children were
all bom, except one, during the liftime of Richard Newton, who, in his will,
adds no more to said portion except the legally required two shillings.
* For ancestry of Joseph Morse, see note to John Newton. ^
54 NEWTON GENEALOGY
I do not fiiul that lie received from the town grants of land, more than the
mention of "Land laid out to Daniel Newton for allowance for an Highway."
I suppose they had taken some of his land for a road, and gave some other in
lieu of it. However, he did have grants from the township, as the annexed
papers show.
In tlie controversy over the settlement of Rev. John Emerson, 1702, he voted
as opposed to it.
Taxes under Andros, 1688, his rate was for "person and estate" £00-03-06.
In the assignment of the families to their respective forts in the Indian
troubles, ending 1713, his name does not appear, while three of his son's families
are assigned to John Newton's Garrison. Perhaps one of tliem lived in the same
house with him.
December 16, Iti'JS, be bought of his brother Joseph ten acres of land.
February 18, 1706, he gave to his son Daniel, Jr., ten acres of the land that
had come to him from his father and grandfather.
December 9, 1714, he gave to his son Benjamin, "upland, meadowland and
swamp-land."
February 26, 1721-2, he joins with John Newton, his nephew, in giving
twenty acres to his son Abraham, who had married Rachel, daughter of John
Newton.
October 17, 1722, he signed two deeds, transferring to bis sons Samuel Newton
and Nathaniel Newton all of his personal estate for a sum of money, and all
of his real estate for money and bonds. In this last deed he mentions "All
grants from the township of Marlborough to me."
Thus it will be seen why there is no will of Daniel Newton, Sr., on record.
Having disposed of his estate in 1722, he lived seventeen years afterward — long
enough to vise up the money received in exchange. And probably died in the
family of either his son Samuel or Nathaniel.

10. ISAAC NI<:WTON- (Ricliard'), son of EicharJ and Anne (Loker) New-
ton from Englan<l and of Sudbnry, Mass., was probabl.v born eitlier at Sudbury
or Srarlborons'h between tlie .vears 1(5.^)0 and 1600. He died at Marlborough,
Mass., August 12, 1685.
He married Rebecca , wlio became his widow in Augtist, and the birth
of her eliild occurred four months afterward, December, 1685. It is supposed,
and witli reason for it, that the following record of marriage with her late
husband's nephew is her second matrimonial venture, that is: Samuel Newton''
(son of John") and Rebecca Newton, both of Marlborough, were married at
Concord, September 8, 1688, by Mr. Edward Bulkely, minister of Concord. At
that date there was no other adult Rebecca Newton in Marlborougli. By this
marriage, two children were born, who seem to have been brought up by their
* For Taylor, see Sarah Newton^.
CHILDREN OF KK'IIAnP XKWTOX 57
grandfather, Jnlin Newton,- Sr. (as they surely were provided fur by his will),
and their father and mother probably were given a legal separation. [See docu-
ments under Samuel Newton.'*]
Kebeeca Newton married again, before lfi98, Philip Pratt of Framingham,
by whom she had two sons, namely : Jeremiah Pratt, born Decemlier 12, 1698,
and Philip Pratt, Jr., born Seiitember 10, 1701, both born at Framingham.
Mrs. Rebecca Pratt i)r(ibably was personal guardian of her daughter, Rebecca
Newton, during her childhood. Jonathan Johnson, Jr., nephew of Isaac Newton,
was made her legal guardian March 22, 1704, and rendered account of his
guardianship to the Court and to her November 26, 1706, Rebecca Newton
being present.
The quit claim of Rebecca Pratt and Philip Pratt to her daughter explains
itself. Rebecca Pratt died at Framingham September 3, 1728. Philip Pratt died
there February 12, 1739.
I cannot find that Isaac Newtou- received grants of land from the town at
any time. This leads me to think he was much younger than his brothers.
What lands he had seem to have come to him by gift and purchase. His
father gave him seven acres, as mentioned below; which seven acres with three
acres more acquired later is probably the land Richard Newton mentions in his
will as the westward boundary of the land he wills to his son John- ; with this
ten acres would go the "10 acre right in Marlborough," mentioned in Jonathan
Johnson, Jr.'s account. In the same accoinit "The Indian Lott 30 acres," woidd
represent the share he obtained through tlie illegal deed from the Indians, in
1684, of their plantation. See page 8.
Thus the real estate that he desired to have go to "his child if it lived," would
be: 10 acres at home with house and barns; 10 acres south of Stony brook;
30 acres Indian lot = 50 acres, and the 10 acre right in Marlborough.
That Isaac Newton- died at Marlborough is evident from the fact that his
nuncupative will is attested by his wife and by his sister. He probably died in
his own home, although the records do not show it.
His posthumous daughter was born at Concord. The record there clearly
gives her parents, "daugliter of Isaaek Newton (deceased)." From this birth in
Concord, and the marriage above occurring there, I have thought Concord may
have been the native town of Isaac Newton's wife. We lack her maiden name,
therefore cannot trace.

CO NEWTON GENEALOGY
THIRD GENERATION AND CHILDREN
11. JOHN NEWTON'\ JR. (Jolm=, Ricliard'). son of Jolm and Elizabeth
(Larkin) Xewton of Marlborous'h, Mass., was born there, June 5, 1607, and
died in Southborougli. Mass., January 27, 17.54, when he in turn is called, "Sen."
He married in Marlborough, June 19, 1690 [T. E.], Hannah Morse [Mors.]
daughter of Joseph and Susanna (Shattuck) Morse* of Watertown and Groton,
Mass., bom in Groton, April 7, 1674, died in Marlborough, September 10, 1732.
John Newton, Jr., lived in Marlborough. His children were born there. In
the Indian troubles following King Philip's War, his house was made one of
the twenty-six '"garrisons," No. 24; and to it were assigned the families of
Eleazer Bellows, James Eager, James Newton, Benjamin Newton, Ephraim
Newton, John Woods and Abraham Newton. The inference is that these
families lived nearest to his garrison-house and could the more quickly gain
refuge. No. 24 and No. 25 garrisons were in what is now Southborough.
Jolm Newton, Jr., with his father, was opposed to the settlement of Rev. John
Emerson in the Church at Marlborough, 1702.
John Newton, Jr., mentioned in his father's will, is given: "Item. I will to
my son John Newton all my Rights to undivided lands In that tract of land in
the Township of Marlboro, called without Cow-Comon land, to him & his
forever." John, Jr., gives bond with Gersliom Newton, the legatee and executor
of the will, each £100 ; and Jolm, Jr., signs with his mark. See will of John
Newton, Sr., and the abstracts of deeds bj' which he conveys to this son about
125 acres, more or less. It was the custom in those times to give the eldest son
a double portion in his father's estate, and it would appear that John, Jr., was
not an exception to the rule.
In the following deed the tliree Newtons bearing the name of John, who were
adults of this branch, are all mentioned. And the one we are considering calls
himself not John, Jr., as we now naturally would, but names his father John
"sen'," himself John "Secundus" (2d), and his son John "Jun"'."
His father having died in 1723, at the age of 82, it was probably John Newton
"Secundus" who was one of the petitioners for the incorporation of South-
borough — which became a town in 1727.
We must not confuse the John Newton "out of Boston" with those of _ this
brancli.

12. SAMUEL NEWTOX^ (John=. Sr., Richard'), son of John and Elizabeth
(Larkin) Newton of Marlborough, Mas,s., was born there December 2.1, 1668.
He was living April 13, 1719, the date of his father's will, where he is mentioned.
"Item: I give to my son Samuel Newton, Two Shillings."
He married at Concord, Mass. The record of the marriage there is: "Samuel
Newton & Rebeckah Newton, both of Marlborow, were joyned in marriage by
M' Edw''. Bulkely Minister of Concord, Septemb'' Sth, 1688." We are not
positive who this Rebeckah Newton was ; but there is every reason to believe
she was the widow of Isaac Newton-, uncle of SaniueP above. There was no
other adult Relieeca Newton in Marlborough at that date. She became a widow
August 12, 1685, and in the December following gave birth to Isaac Newton's
posthumous child [see his will and the accompanying documents]. She married
Philip Pratt of Framingham some time before 1698, or about that time; but
there would have been time for the intervening marriage with Samuel Newton,
and the legal separation that is foreshadowed and indicated in the bond given
below. Of the two children she bore to Samuel Newton, the younger was not
born October 25, 1690, at the date of the bond. What the trouble was does not
appear.
As the wife of Philip Pratt, she lived in Framingham. where she had two
sons, born, namely; Jeremiah Pratt, bom December 12, 1698; and Philip Pratt,
Jr., born September 10, 1701, who married in Weston, Marj' Osland of Newton,
and had six children.

This Bond is interesting in that it gives the signatnres of John Newton, Sr.,
Moses Newton, Sr. (his mark), James Taylor and Samuel Phipps. It would
seem to indicate that Samuel Newton was not the model husband we hope he
was, and had been cited before the grand jury. The tenn "reputed wife" also
excites our curiosity. Perhaps it is only a legal form of those times. Whatever
the trouble was, they are both well delivered out of it by this time, and all is
well.
Rebecca Pratt died at Framingham September 3, 1728. Philip Pratt died
there February 12, 1739.
There is nothing further on the Marlborough records about this Samtiel
Newton except the births of his two children. It seems to me not unlikely that
the two abstracts from the Boston Probate Records, and the mention in Col.
Thomas Westbrook's letters, following, may refer to this Samuel Newton. Some
one else will probably find the names of those who were his heirs; either to prove
or disprove the supposition.
Col. Thomas Westbrook was ordered by the Massachusetts government (Maine,
then a part of Massachusetts, was spoken of as "down east"), to prosecute the
Indians in Maine for "many breaches of covenant." The muster rolls of his
soldiers contain many familiar names. All the letters are interesting, both to
and from him; those in form of diary particularly so. He records in 1723, "The
9th Instant, . . . This morning, before Day, Sam" Newton, one of Capt. Ward'
Company, Going aboard the Sloop in a (iundilo. fell over board and was
Drounded." See also the following:

This may not be SamueP son of John- (Richard^, but one of another branch —
but who was he ?
The two children of Samuel Newton and his wife Rebecca were probably
brought up by their grandfather, John Newton'-, whose will, and their portions
in his estate, would indicate they had long been members of his family. See

John Taint and Sarah Newton married in Marlboroufrh, January 4, 1740-1,
she then aged 42 years, and the daughter Mary, unmarried, aged 36 years;
Joshua then married, and aged 38 years. The daughter Elizabeth is not men-
tioned in the will.
Zachariah Newton lived in Marlborough. His children were born there. He
died before the division of the town, when his lands were set off to Southborough.
His father's will (1723) gives "to the Children of my son Zachary Newton,
deceased, a Cedar swamp, lying & being within the Township of Westboro' in
Midd''. aforesaid"
In the controversy in the church at Marlborough over the settlement as pastor
of Rev. John Emerson of Ipswich, Zachariah, like a majority of the voting
Newtons, was opposed to it.
Mr. Newton left no will and the administration of his estate was given to his
widow, Mary Newton, she giving the usual bond, which is in printed form [see
bond in the case of Edward Newton-]. The papers in the case in probate court
are two, viz. :

in Southborough, November 15, 1703, — at which time he is "John, Jr."
He married in Watertown, Mass., January 3, 171(5-17. Hannah Parkburst,
daughter of John and Abigail (Garfield) Parldiurst§ of Watertown, where she
was born April 17, 1690. She died in Southborough, — "Ilannab .Jr." Feljruary

John Newtou"' lived in Marlburougb. where fiv(> of his chihh'on were born;
and was set oS to Southborough in 1727, where the three others were born.
He was one of those who voted, in 1702, in opposition to the settlement of
Rev. John Emerson over the Marlborough Church.
There is no Probate record of the settling of his estate in Worcester County,
nor in Middlesex County.

224. PITINEAS NEWTON"-' (Jolnv\ John=, Eiehardi), son of John and
Hannah (iMorse) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there, October 5,
1707, and died at Wilhraham, Mass., July 12, 1779.
He married, probably, at Marlborough — the marriage being recorded in the
church there, in 1730-31, Patience Howe, daughter of John, Jr., and Deliverence
(Rice) HoweJ of Marlborough, where she was bom March 28, 1714. She died
February 5, 1759, and is buried in Ellington, Conn., which was then a part of
the town of Windsor, Comi.
He married (2) at East Haddam, Conn., March 12, 1700. Mary Cove or Cone,
who was living July 1, 1778, and is mentioned and provided for in his will of
that date. She seems to have been a widow with an invalid daughter, "Hannah,"
when he man-ied her. He had no children by this marriage.
Mr. Newton certainly lived in Leicester for twenty years after marriage — ten
of his children were born there. Two other sons, Paul and Phineas, he men-
tions in his will, which two were probably born at Windsor, Conn., where he
was as early as 1757, when, being styled as "of Windsor," on August 31, 1757,
he bought lands in South Hadley, Mass., — in a part of the town called the
"Crank." By deed, dated March 20, 1700, Simeon Willard of Springfield, Mass.,
conveys land "in the Second and Middle Division of the outward Commons
so called on the East side of Connecticut River in Springiield'' to "Phineas
Newton of Windsor and Collony of Connecticut." He probably removed to
Springfield about the time of his second marriage, and on June 3, 1760, bought
more land in the "Cranio." In April, 1761, still "of Springfield," he conveyed
land in South Hadley, to his son Francis Newton, of South Hadley. March 21,
1763, "Lieut. Phineas Newton was appointed on Committee to set off Wilbrahani
as a separate precinct from Spring-field." It is very probable that his home and

their father had already made it over to this son and the daughters. The

Stephen Newton lived in Windsor, Conn., the first decade of his married life

church at Rutland, Mass. I suppose that some years previous to 1770 he settled
in Belchertown, Mass., and probably diecl there. There was no Stephen Newton,
head of a family in the United States in the Census of 1790. Nor does he
appear in the Probate Court of Worcester County.

234. GERSHOM NEWTON-* (Samuels John-, liU-liard' ), son of Samuel
and Rebecca ( ■ Newton) Newton, of Marlborough and Concord, Mass.,
was born at Marlborough, December 17, 1090. Cershom Newton died at South-
borough, January 22, 1753, the only Newton of the name who did die in that
town.
Gershom Newton-* was brought ui) by his gTandfathcr. .lohn Newton-, and
was appointed sole executor and residuar.y legatee of the latter's estate [see will
of John Newton-, proved 1723], As John Newton makes no other disposition
of his homestead, it probably then was, had been, and continued to be the
home of his grandson Gershom. Later, this part of Marlborough was set o-fE
and became the town of Southborough. He left no will. He had probably
disposed of his real estate in his lifetime, only a small personal was disposed
of by the Court after his death. The list of papers in the case follows :

He married — where, does not appear; but tlie marriajre is recorded in the
first Cliureh of Marlborough as having- occurred , 1714, to Elizabeth
Angier, who was probably related to, or connected with. Rev. Samuel Angler
of Candiridge and Watertown. I have not traced her lineage. She had eight
children, all born in Marlborough. I have no record of her death.
In 1721 Gershom Newton and wife are mentioned in the records of Fram-
ingham as being there.
Gershom Newton married (2) in Southborongh, March ", 1744. "Merj
Newton." Mercy Newton as given in the court record, as also in the record of
the births of her children, who were born in Southborough. Which Mary or
Mercy Newton, maiden or widow, is unknown to me. She was probably much
younger than Gershom at date of marriage. She was the mother of three
children.
Three sons of Gershom Newton were sohliers in the French and Indian Wars:
Gershom, Jr., in 1748 and 17.'J(i; Timothy in 1748 and 17r>{i; Jason in 17.57.

I do not feel sure that I am right about this family. Yet everything points
the way I have recorded it. There must have been three Gershoms born; for
one died in 1753. and two -n'cre living in 1700. The one living in Lancsborough.
1790, was probably his grandson.

237. JOSHUA NEWTON, SK.* (Zachariah,"- John-, Richard^), son of
Zachariah and Mary (Axtell) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there,
October 13. 1703. He died and his estate was administered in 1742, case No.
13,258 in Probate Court. No will.
lie resided in Marlborough-Southborougli. His children were born in South-
borough.
The marriage, "consumated by Joseph Wilder Esq." of Joshua Newton and
Mary Temple occurred at Lancaster, Mass., October 21, 1729. The mother of
his children is named Mercy in every case. [For a confusion of dates, see
"Some Temple Pedigrees, 1900," by E. D. Temple.]
'l"hc History of Shrewsbury, by A. H. Ward, has tlie following:
Temple, Ricliard, whose wife was Mary, was living on house lot. No. 37, in 1721); his
wife Mary, died here. Dec. 10, 1733, aged .57. His daughter Mary, was admitted to
this church in 172.S. married Newton of Southboro.' and was dismissed to the
church there in 1743. Nothing further on record here concerning him or his.
See also the note under same as to Temple ancestry. Concord.
I am inclined to think there was no "Nathaniel Newton" wlio married a
Mary Temple — these names being combined by an error of the coi)yist. — The
marriage of Nathaniel Wilder and Mary Beaman being the one immediately
preceding in the record, 1729, the eye could easily become in error.

P.R.VXCII OF JOHN 7o
He married in Shrewsbury, Mass., March 29, 1727, Anna Wilson of Lancaster.
Thomas Newton, at marriage, was called of Shrewsbur.y. His wife was
admitted to the church there in 1742. He lived in the north parish, near to
Lancaster. Six children are recorded in Shrewsbury; four of them were baptized
in Grafton church.
Thomas Newton was in Sunderland 17-12, and in Deeriield 1750. His estate
was not settled by Probate Court of Middlesex or Worcester counties, Mass.

241. OBEDIAH NEWTON* (Thomas", John=, Richard^), son of Thomas
and Record (Ward) Newton of Marlborough and Shrewsbury, Mass., was born
at Marlborough, January (J, 1702, and died in Grafton, Mass., May 11, 1753.
aged 51. G. S. there, in the old cemetery. His estate was administered without
a will, in Grafton, in 1753. Case in Probate, No. 43,348.
He married about 1724 or 25, Abigail .
The township of Shrewsbury was incorporated December 15, 1727, ten
years after it was granted as a township. The town was settled mostly by
people from Marlborough, Mass. At the first town meeting after that date
Shrewsbury included what is now Boylstou, most of West Boylston, a small
part of Sterling, Westborough and Grafton. In 1741, Obediah Newton, who
had settled in the town, together with three other families and their farms,
were set off and annexed to Grafton. Thus we find a record of the births of
his children in the towns of Shrewsbury, Westborough and Grafton, and
baptisms of some of them in Grafton.
The death of his wife, Abigail, does not appear, and he may have had a
second wife, Ruth — ; for in the baptism records at (Jrafton some of the chil-
dren are credited to "Obediah and Ruth,"' namely : John, Jonas, and the first
Thadeus. There is an error somewhere.

1746, 1747. In 1748 he was one of the building committee to build a new church.
On February 6, 1753, the town voted to sell no "pew-spots" to non-residents ;
"Widdo Vashti Newton" had "inhind seat on right hand, next to woman's

FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN
253. AZARIAII NEWTON'' (Jolni^, Johir. John=, Richard'), son of John
and Hannah (Parkhurst) Newton of Southborough, Mass., was born at Marl-
borough, Mass., February 5, 1720, and died at Milford, Mass., November 1,
1794, aged 75.
He married at Milford. liy Rev. Amaziali Frost, who certified to tlie marriage
February 20, 1746, Sarah Jones, daughter of Deacon Natlianiel an<l Priscilla
(Corbet) Jones. She died July 17, 180S, probably at Milford, where she was
living in 1794 to enjoy the use of one-half the estate of her late husbaml.
Mr. Newton was a farmer in Milford. He and his wife were received into
the Congregational Church at Milford, April .'), 1747 — the year after tlieir
marriage. They apparently continuetl to reside at Milford for the remainder
of their lives, yet the First Uniteil States Census, 1790, does not mention a
Newton in that town, while both Amaziah and his son Ichabod were both living
there, heads of families at that date.
The following abstract of the will of Azariah Newton mentions three children.
I have not the records of the town of Milford, which probably contain fuller
mention. Milford was incorporated as a towni in 17S0 — it was formerly a part
of Mondon. Perhaps Mendon may contain the births of these children.
Azariah Newton was surety, with Samuel Jones, on the bond (£600) of the
widow of his son Tcbabod, 1778.
Probably Samuel Jones was a near relative of the wife of Azariali Newton.

She died at Southborough, Febniai-y 14, 1805. aged 78. C. R. (or February
19, 1805. in lier T6th year. Fam. Bible.) Four children.
Ho married (2) April 14. 1808, at Southboroug-h, Mrs. Sarah Johnson, who
died there October — , 1811, aged about 65. C. R.
Mr. Newtou continued to reside in Southborough until after the death of his
second wife, when he went to live with his daughter, Mrs. Ames, in Southbridge,
where he died.
The name of this John Newton appears ou the rolls of the men from Marl-
borough, soldiers in the French and Indian wars for the years 1758 and 1759 —
service in the reduction of Canada. As a soldier of the Revolution, the Revolu-
tionary Rolls contain his name in the following service :
John Newton — Private in Capt. Moses Harrington's Company. Col. Dike's regiment,
muster for December 20, 1776. to Feb. 1777. credited to Soutliborough. enlisted December
20, 1776, and served till March 1. 1777.
The first United States Census, 1790, finds John Newton head of a family in
Southborough, which consists of himself and one female.
His estate was administered at Southbridge, without a will, in 1820. The case
in Probate Court. No. 43,240.
The following is a copy from an old Bible, printed in 1730. The writing,
I am told, "is so poor and so many blots and the spelling so bad," that it is
difficult to read. The old fashioned way of forming the letters and the reckless
spelling of the olden times always is difficult to read. The inscription is:
"This being a gift given to ,Tohn Newtown from his honored father. John Newtown, to
remember him by: And a.s it is the word of God. I with the same [spirit? (fadedt] from
my heart, that the blessing of God may accompany the same to him and also to his

of the giver. .Tohn Newtown.

which consisted of, besides himself, one male under sixteen years, and two
females.
From the will, the inference is that he had no children except those by wife

Phineas and Patience (Howe) Xewton of Marlhoroush and I^eicester, Mass.,
was born at Leicester, March 21, 1731-2, and died April 18, 1781, aged .50.
He married Elizabeth . She was bom about 1736, and died April 16,
1820. aged 84.
Francis Newton and his wife Elizabeth were admitted to the Congregational
Church at Belchertown, Mass., in 1756, and removed from that town in 1761,
In 1770 his name appears in Hadley, Mass., in a "List of Inhabitants of Hadley
in 1770, and the parts of the village and town in which they resided ; their polls
and valuations." From a valuation made 1770 and sent to Boston: '"Francis
Newton. 1 poll, £29. 8. East side of Main street, beginning at the North end."
The History of Hadley gives the names and marriages of five children. In the
First United States Census, 1790, the mother, Elizabeth Newton, in Hadley,
Mass., is given as the head of the family — she was a widow then — and her family
consisted besides, of one male under sixteen years, and one other female.
Francis Newton, a soldier of the Revolution, on a list of men from Col.
Cushing's Regiment, mustered by Thomas Newhall, muster master for Wor-
cester County, to serve at Rhode Island "until the 1st. of Jan. ne.xt" (year not
given) in Capt. Newton's Company. [I suppose this to be this Francis Newton.^]

Mr. Newton moved about some during his long lifetime. I have noticed
that those men who had been soldiers were not content to live and die among
their native hills. On July 21, 1779, in a conveyance of land by him and his
brother Paul to their brother Phineas Newton of Wilbraham, he was "of
Becket," Mass. By later deeds, we find him living 1781-2. in Murraysfield ;
1784, in Chester; 1787, in Norwich; 1794-5, Montgomery. These towns are in
nine children. One was Amos Htde*. b. 1742: d. 1795: m. Sfs.ixNA ; res.. Nffwton.

Hampden and Hampshire counties, Mass. After 1795 he removed to Wayne
County, Pa., where he spent the remainder of his life. lie was engaged in the
manufacture of lumber. This would account for his removals from place to place
and the many purchases of lands — timber lands. The old Newton homestead,
the Newton sawmill, the Newton Cemetery, were in Buckingham, Wayne County,
Pa., "on the banks of the Delaware" is the statement. Thaddeus Newton was
a soldier of the Revolution. The Massachusetts Archives at the State House in
Boston contain the service rolls of several of his enlistments. Abstracts are here
given. I am always pleased to find a descriptive list. The Newtons are much
alike.

Much is lacking in the record of his children, and it is to be regretted we have
nothing further of his wife. The oldest child was born at Wilbraham, the others
probably in Hampshire County, Mass.

1742, and who died in New Braintree, Mass. — "Betsey, wife of Oliver, May 15,
1823, aged 81" — is the record. From the use of the word "wife" instead of
"widow," it would seem that her husband was living in 1823.
Oliver Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. Abstract of service :

BRANCH OF JOHN 85
The town records of Marlborough state that he was a soldier in the French
and Indian wars of 1748 and 1756, together with his brother Gershom, Jr.
He resided in Marlborough-Southborough, where his children were born. The
record is quite clear as to the parents and birth dates of the four children — the
mother of each not at all uncertain.
Timothy Newton'^ was probably married when he served his first term as a
soldier — as long before as 1746; I do not find the record of this marriage. His
wife was Hannah , and their son Timothy's birth is recorded in South-
borough. There may have been other children, not recorded, between tlie dates
of this and his second marriage — at least sixteen years.
Timothy Newton'^ married (2) at Marlborough, Mass., March 22, 1760, Sarah
Morse, who was the mother of three children born there. She was probably
living in 1790 with him in Northborough, and was one of the "two females"
recorded in the Unitetl States Census. I have not been able to trace her
parentage. Wliy Lydia Morse (dau. of Samuel and Lydia (Newton) Morse)
should be given as this wife and mother, in the Morse Genealogy, I do not know.

He married at Mendon, Mass., "by Rev. Frost, Januar.y 9, 17.'')7, Hannah

Warren. Marriage also recorded in' Eramingham. Her descendants state that
her son Jason received a United States pension, which after his death in 1842
was transferred to her. She would have been of great age at that date.
Jason Newton, then of Framingham, Mass., was in the French and Indian
War. His name appears on the roll in Capt. Henry Fames' Company, April
26, 1757.
Jason Newton, wife Hannah and child, Abigail, from Framingham were
"warned out" of Mendon, February 19, 1759. He probably settled in Mendon
about this time. One child at least, and perhaps others, was born there.
Before 1775 he had removed to Lanesborough, Berkshire County, Mass. The
following entry in the Index to the Revolutionary War Archives is probably
his service in that war:
Jason Newton. Lanesborougli. Private Capt. Asa Barnes Co.. Col. Patterson Regi-
ment of Minute-men, marched April 19, 1775, entered service April 22, 1775, served one
month. Reported returned home.

Private Capt. Asa Barnes' Co. Service 15 days. Company marclied to Manchester (.50
miles) .July l.S, 1777.
Jason Newton is recorded in the First United States Census, 1790, as being
head of a faiiiily in New Ashford, Berkshire County, Mass., the other members
of which were one male under sixteen years, and three females.

Ho married about 1761, Sarah Wallace, daughter of William and Eleanor
( ) Wallace:}: of Worcester, Mass., where she was born May 16, 1744.
On April 6, 1762, John Newton and wife from ^Marlborough were warned
from Worcester — "now at the house of David Cunningham." Warrant returned
May 10, 1762. It would seem that John Newton and his wife Sarah had come
to Worcester with a view of settling there — her native town, and were stopping
for a time with her sister, the wife of David Cunningham. It was the custom
to "warn-out" every stranger from the town.
Mr. Newton soon became a citizen of Worcester and his seven cliildren were
born there. No deaths in this family on record in Worcester. AVhere they moved
to does not appear. No settlement of his estate there.

He married in Westborough, Mass., January 31, 1753, Elizabeth Clafliu,
daugliter of Cornelius and Elizabeth (Cai-j'l) Claflin* of Wenham, Mass. She
wa^ bom September 3, 1739. She died, proliably at Deei-field, Mass., ,

Alpheus Newton was a famier. He lived first in Westborough, where the first
three children were born; in 1758 and 1759 he had a child baptized in the
church at Brookfield, Mass. ; then seven children are recorded as having been
born in Pet«rsliam; three others were bom somewhere else and one born in
Deerfield; where the names of all his children are recorded. He was in that
town as early as 1778. Petersham and New Salem are adjoining towns.
Alpheus Newton and his son Alpheus, Jr., were soldiers of the Revolution.
The following may be, in part, the service of either father or son. I cannot
determine which is which in this case:
Alpheus Newtou. New Salem. List to serve Continental Army from 1st Company,

The records at Petersham are torn, leaving the dates imperfect.

SIXTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN
342. ICHABOD NEWTON" (Azariah\ Joliii^, Jolin^, John-, EicluirdO. son
of Azariali and Sarali (Jones) Newton of Marlborough and Milford, Mass., was
probably born in that ])art of Mendon that later became Milford; the date of
birth we can approximate by the record of his baptism in the Congregational
church there, by Eev. Ainaziah Frost the first pastor, on April .5, 1747. He died
at Milford, February 5, 1778.
He married at Milford, Eev. Amaziah Frost officiating, January 12, 1700,
Ehoda Chapin, daughter of Josiah and Eachel ( ) Chapin. She was
born — , 1752, and died at Hopkinton, Mass.. September 28. 1839, aged 87.
She survived her husband and was appointed administratrix of his estate. About
or before 1788, she married (2) Benjamin Singletary:): of Hopkinton, where they
resided. He died there February or March IS, 1812, aged 66. Consumption.
By him she had: Daniel, born May 1, 1789, died March 10, 1847; Palsey, a
farmer in Hopkinton; Nanney, born March 15, 1792.
Mr. Newton was a farmer in Mendon and Milford. He seems to have lived
all his life in those towns ; his children were born there ; the settleineut of
his estate was at Mendon. The following abstract of administration and copy
of the report of the Commission from the Probate Court explain themselves.
It is not stated what illness caused the death of the father and three of his
children within two weeks.

lOfi NEWTON tiKXEALOGY
The grandson of Nathan Newton asserts that the second wife was "Dollie Morse
of Rumford, Maine," but he is so uncertain as to much that he gives me that I
am inclined to accept as correct the marriage recorded in Northborough, Mass. —
that is, of one of liis marriages [there may have been tliree] : — "Nathan New-
ton and Dolly Wood, married October 6, 1794." There is a bit of evidence which
points to this being his second marriage, namely: Nathan Newton's youngest son
very earnestly desired to name his first child (so she tells me) Dorothy Wood; but
his wife would not have it so — she did not want the child nicknamed "Little
Dollie." Tliey compromised on the name, Cynthia Wood. It seems to me that
the fatlier wished to name the child after his mother — ^Dorothy Wood — "Dolly."
Whatever the maiden name of Nathan Newton's last wife may have been, his
widow, "Dollie," after his death, sometime, went to live with her eldest son,
Lambert Newton, in Noble, Noble County, Ohio, where she died, February 26,
1859 ; burial at Haskinsville, Ohio, about four miles from the home of Lam-
bert Newton, near Caldwell, Ohio.
I do not find the parentage of either wife ; and Dolly Wood may have been
a widow, born Morse. I merely suggest it — no proof.
It is stated by his descendants that Nathan Newton came to Andover, Maine,
from Duxbury, Mass. At what date they know not, nor whence to Duxbury.
but it is known that he lived the remainder of his life at Andover, Maine, and
died there.
The record of liis children is imperfect. The order of their names here given
is not coiTcct. No one seemed to know how they came.
The following from "Worcester County Warnings" I give in this connection
because of the similarity of names, and the date, and tlie town, and that per-
haps the name Nahum might be incorrectly written for Nathan. I do not
know who they are else. Namely: "Warned from Northborough, September
9, 1790, Nahum Newton, yeoman, wife Anna ; children, Aaron Beaman, Holes-
worth, Polly, Winthrop ; from Southborough. Notice given to the Selectmen by
Dea. Paul Newton."
The First United States Census, 1790, shows Nathan Newfon at Northborough,
head of a household, consisting of liimself. three males under sixteen years, and
two females.

Mrs. Newton survived her husband. Tliey were buried at Shoreham, Vt., and
have gravestones with inscriptions.
Before the War of the Eevolution. in 1773 or '74, Daniel Newton was sent,
with others, to commence tlie settlement of Shoreham, Vt., on the lands granted
to his father. At tlie beginning of the war they buried their tools and retumed
to Shrewsbury. After the war he dug out his tools and went on with his
work. He married his cousin, who shared with him the hardships of pioneers.
But they lived to enjoy the results of their labors, in the fruitful fields, and
civilizing influences about them. He was active in promoting town improve-
ments, establishing schools, building roads, erecting public buildings. He was
forward in founding the Academy of Shoreham. which was incorporated in 1811
and named for him. He was a man of influence, and a Christian. He was
administrator of his father's estate, and as such on October 16, 1783, presented
a claim against the town of £10 with interest for eighteen years, which was
allowed.
He was a soldier of the Eevolution. When Ethan Allen's party came through
the town in May, 1775, he was surveying lands for the town and chopping on
his land. He set his ax against a tree and joined the party, and was left with
Seth Warner on the Vermont side, so did not assist in the taking of Fort Ticon-
deroga, but was with Warner at the capture of Crown Point. lie first joined
the American Army, as a servant to Gen. Artemas Ward (a neighbor and a
relative, his grandmother being Eecord Ward), in Philadelphia. He served
through the war. On the rolls his name appears : "Daniel Newton. Shrewsbury,
resided in and enlisted for Shrewsbury; men raised to serve in Continental
Army for 6th Worcester County regiment as retumed by Capt. Asa Rice. Also,
joined Capt. Ward's Company, Col. Wesson's regiment, term three years. Mus-

was born there January 13, 1757, and died at Newfane, Windham County, Vt.,
December 15, 1833, aged 76 years 11 months.
He maiTied in Shrewsbury, Mass., December 28, 178G (int. in Shrewsbury,
July 1, 1786), Lydia Newton (2127), daughter of Solomon" and Hannah (Hast-
ings) Newton of Shrewsbury, where she was born August 5, 1765, and died
at Newfane, Vt., May 16, 1839, aged 74. Burial beside her husband, at New-
fane, in the cemetery on the hill, easterly of the old county seat.
Marshall Newton, Jr., learned the blacksmith's trade. At the age of eighteen
years he entered the Continental Army to become a soldier of the Revolution.
He served term after term until he had spent seven years engaged in that war.
After the war, in the first granting of United States pensions, Marshall Newton,
being a man of property, was not included. He felt the injustice; he had given
seven years to the government; he had since then been frugal and industrious;
he had paid heavy taxes to support the government; but for all that he was
denied an equal standing with those who had been idle, with the poor, and
with the dissipated. He did not want the money; but the principle was wrong.
Later a pension was granted him, but did not reach him until a few hours before
his death; $80 per year. His name appears on the army rolls in the following
connection : Marshall Newton, Jr. Shrewsbury. Enlistment agreement June 2,
1775, to serve until December 31, 1775, unless sooner discharged. Also, private
in Capt. Job Cusliing's Company, Col. Jonathan Ward's regiment, and other
services. In these engagements he was under Gen. Artemus Ward, in the right
wing of the army occupying Roxbury and Dorchester. He was at Dorchester
Heights on March 4, 1776, in the night scene of fortification. Private in Capt.
Asa Rice, Col. Job Cushing's regiment, marched July 27, 1777, discharged

114 XE^YTO^' GENEALOGY
After the war, Mr. Newton was in Shrewsbury awhile. In 1784 or '85 he went
to Shoreham, Vt., engaging in surveying of the township into lots; thence to
Newfane, Vt., where he bought six acres of land and set up a blacksmith shop
and gave close attention to business. He began to build his house in 1786,
moved into it within two years, but did not complete it for several years. In
this house all of his children, except the eldest, were bom; here he lived and died.
The house still stands and is habitable.
Mr. Newton was a person of good business capacity; versatile, he could adjust
his mind and the labor of his hands to the nee<ls of the community; fashioning
tools of every description; bartering them for produce, furs and other things;
dealing in real estate, etc., all the time without leaving his anvil. He pur-
chased large tracts of land on the Green Mountains that are still in the posses-
sion of his family. He accumulat«d quite a property, from which he was ever
generous and hospitable. He called himself a Presbyterian, but there being no
Presbyterian church there, he cordially supported the Congregational church
of the town. He was a liberal contributor to the Academy and to all public
improvements. The first school in the place was opened in his house.
The First Census of the Fnit<?d States, 1790, states that his family in Newfane,
Vt., consisted of himself, one nmle above sixteen years, two males under sixteen
years, and three females.
He was above medium height, rather corpulent, woigliing nearly two hundred
pounds, and generally in good health. He served the town as one of its select-
men for the years 1789, 1797 and 1810.

IIQ NEWTON GENEALOGY
bury, Mass., was born there March 8, 1762, and died at Shoreham, Addison
County, Vt, September 12, 1823, aged 61.
He married at Shrewsbury, January 16, 1787 (int. October 4, 1786), Eliza-
beth, "Betty" Keyes, daughter of Elisha and Catherine (Baker) Keyes* of
Shrewsbury, where she was bom October 31, 1763. She survived her liusband
twenty-four years, and died , 1847, at the home of her son, Daniel S.
Newton, at Glens Falls, Saratoga County, N. T.
Calvin Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. The Roster of the S. A. R.
states that he was a private in the Massachusetts Artillery. In a descriptive
list he appears as of Shrewsbury ; the list as returned by Justin Ely, Commander,
by Brig.-Gen. John Glover at Springfield, July 9, 1780; age 18, stature 5 ft.
9 in., complexion ruddy, engaged for the town of Shrewsbury; arrived at Spring-
field July 8, 1780, marched to camp July 9, 1780, under command of Lieut.
Jackson of the Artillery. Also, six months service returned by Brig.-Gen. Patter-
son, dated Totoway, October 25, 1780; other services; the last discharge, Decem-
ber 11, 1780, having then served five months, fifteen days, including travel home
(180 miles). Later he was Major in the Vermont State Militia. He was a
Revolutionary pensioner.
After his marriage he continued to reside in Shrewsbury. Both he and his
wife were admitted to the church there in 1790. The First United States Census,
1790, has : ''Calvin Newton. Shrewsbui-j', Mass. Two males above 16 years,
three males below 16 years, seven females." Of course, as he had only two
children at that date, he probably had another family in the house with him — he
being set down as the head of all. He is set down on the town records October
1, 1798, as occupying, but not owTiing his house. He was assessor for Shrews-
bury for the years 1794, 1795, 1796, and held the two oftices. Selectman and Treas-
urer, for the years 1797 and 1798. Six of his children were born in Shrews-
bury. In 1798, he moved with his family to Brattleboro, Vt., where his youngest
four children were bom. In 1807 he removed with them to Ticonderoga, N. Y.,
where thej' lived for a while, then moved to and settletl in Shoreham, Vt., where
he became the Town Clerk. His handwriting on the books there is remarkably
good.
Major Calvin Newton, like so many of the Newton name, was a blacksmitli
by trade — and a fine mechanic. He helped to iron tlie first steamboat built by
Robert Fulton. He was a strictly honest, hard-working and conscientious man.
He and his wife united with the Congregational church in Shoreham, Vt. He
died and is buried in Shoreham by the side of his eldest son and his daughter
Eunice, where also lie his brother Daniel and wife.

While he was only a boy during the whole of the war, his family state that
"he seized several enlistments in the Revolution." In 17'"^0 he went to Shore-
ham, Vt., where he met and married his wife, and where he settled for a time.
He was a blacksmith by trade, and a superior mechanic and workman, and a
fine penman. In 1801 he removed to Ticonderoga, IST. Y., and built a forge at
the upper falls. The First United States Census, 1790, shows Liberty Newton
at Shoreham, Addison County, Vt., his family consisting of himself, one male
above sixteen years, and three females. This would indicate that he had mar-
ried and set uj) a household before the census taker came that year.
The last two decades of his life brought sorrow to himself and to all of his
friends; for he became through drink a dissipated man. brought about by busi-
ness reverses and mental aberration. September 5, 1805, he signed ''Articles of
Separation" from his wife, and the children were scattered among relatives
and friends. Finally, he made a chain, in the shop, with which he hanged him-
self. Cynthia, his wife, after the separation, lived for a time with her brother
Nathaniel North of Shoreham, then moved to Champlain, N. Y., where her
brothers Abijah and Lemuel North were early settlers.
One of her granddaughters writes in 1895 : — "As to my grandfather Newton,
there is no doubt he was a dissipated man and took his own life; but his chil-
dren considered him insane, or partially so, for several years before his death.
I should judge from what I have heard of his habits, he wandered about the
country, as the demented often do. Had he lived in these days he would have
been confined in an asylum. But my mother loved her father and ever cherished
his memory most tenderly. She always said he was a kind and indulgent father,
very fond of his children, until the dark days came. He was in good circum-
stances in her childhood and youth. She said he was a very generous man ; ever
ready to help a friend in trouble. In an unfortunate moment he went bail for
one of his friends, who repaid him by running away and leaving him with the
bonds to pay; which swept away his entire property. After this he became very
despondent and soon commenced drinking. Grandmother blamed him and this
didn't help matters. Grandmother had the best judgment and was an excellent
financier — that trait runs in the North family. I am sure my mother loved her
father quite as well as she did her mother, notwithstanding his faults."
The First Ignited States Census. 1790, shows Liberty Newton head of a house-
hold, which consisted of himself, one male above sixteen years, and three females.
These people are not necessarily one's wife and children. They were probably
a family to work for him in shop and farm.

546. WILLIAM WALLACE NEWTON" (Jolin^, Obediali*, Thomas^ John^,
Richard'), son of John and Sarah (Wallace) Newton of Worcester, Mass., was
born there October 11, 1768, according to the town record; 1769, private record,
lie died April 28, 1814, "at Preston, N. Y.," is one statement; another is that
"he died somewhere in Pennsylvania, on his way home after going down river
with a raft of lumber. He was buried where he died ; but there is a stone in the
North Afton Cemetery, N. Y., telling when."
Too little°rs positively certain about William W. Newton, his itinerary and his
life. His posterity know nothing of him prior to his coming to New York State,
except that "he came from the east" and settled in Bainbridge, Chenango
County, N. Y., where he was a farmer. They have an idea that the oldest of
his twelve children was bom somewhere in Coimectieut, and the others before
he came to New York.
He married, about 1790, Lydia Wells, of whose birth and marriage as little
is known by her descendants, although she was living in 1852. She was born in
1774, and was tlie mother of his twelve children. After his death she married
(2), "we think in Preston, N. Y.," (Chenango County) a Mr. Stafford, who
probably died there. He died and she went to live with her son. Thomas New-
ton, in Bainbridge, N. Y., where she spent the remainder of her life.
The First United States Census, 1790, shows a William Newton and wife
heads of a family at Sutton, Mass., — no other members in it — who might have
been this man. There was no other of the name who so nearly conforms with
his then conditions — i. e. a very young couple, just married. A record of his
children has been preserved in the family. It gives me pleasure to place it
here.

13i NEWTON GENEALOGY
The following sketch of this excellent man I copy from the Historj' of New-
fane, Vt., but have very much condensetl : "He spent his early youth in labor
with his father in the blacksmith's shop. He had a special fondness even then
for books, and determined to acquire something more than a common school
education, and even as he worked his book lying near enabled him to commit
much to memoi-y. At nineteen he taught school in Marlborough, Vt., with suc-
cess. He fitted for college at the school in Newfane, and entered Middlebury
College, October 6, 180G. April, 1810, he united with the Congregational church
at Middlebury; entered Andover (Mass.) Theological Seminai-y, November, 1810;
completed the course 1813, and was licensed to i)reach. His first labors were at
Marlborough, Vt. On March 16, 1814, was ordained and installed over that
church, where he continued till January 1, 1833 — a successful ministry, when
many were added to the church. He became pastor of the Presbyterian church
at Glens Falls, N. Y., February 28, 1833, continuing there about three and one-
half years. November, 1836, to August, 1813, he was pastor of the Presbyterian
church at Cambridge, N. Y. In July, 1843, he was elected principal of Cam-
bridge Washington Academy, which post he filled acceptably until August,
1848. Having a fondness for natural science. Dr. Newton early in life gave his
attention to mineralogy and geology. He gathered about 10,000 specimens, which
in 1857 he presented to the Theological Seminary at Andover, Mass. His library
of about 1,000 volumes he presented to Middlebury College. 1860 to lSi;2, he
occupied the pulpit at Marlborough, Vt., — the one where his labors began. About
this time he was elected to the State Legislature of Vermont. While in this
service he was attacked with a severe fit of sickness, from which he never
wholly recovered.
"From his Alma Mater he received the degree of D.D. He was a man of
great industry. In business and as an accountant, he was proverbially accurate.
He was a devoted and faithful minister of Christ. His life was filled with use-
fulness. In the 'Old' and 'New School' controversy, he espoused the 'Old School'
side. He was spare in person, rather tall, of a grave countenance, sometimes
wearing a shade of sadness. But he was cheerful and pleasant in conversation
and intercourse, with a vein of humor."
Mr. Newton's children were all born at Marlborough, Vt. The house which
he built there in 1814, and in which all of his children were bom, is still standing.

she was born July 11, 1791, and where she died at her liome in Wardsborough,

Holland).
Sir Isaac Newton" was so christened. His burial stone is so inscribed. He
settled in that part of Newfane, Vt., that later became Wardsborough. The house
is still (1906) standing — owned by a man in Boston. Here Mr. Newton's chil-
dren were born. In 1891 not one of these ten children was living in Vermont.
Mr. Newton took an active part in the civic affairs of the town, and evidently
was held in good repute by his fellow townsmen, since they elected and reelected
him to be their Selectman for the years 1831, '36, '38, '39, '40; Moderator of the
Annual Meeting in 1833; and Town Clerk for the years 1849 and 1850.

ter of Eev. James and Submit (Hayden) Tufts* of Wardsborough, Vt., born May
11, 1811, and died at Newfane, Vt, December 22, 1896.
Mr. Newton resided in Newfane, Vt., where his children were born. The
house that he built is occupied by his daughters, the Misses Fanny and Mary
Newton, who have always lived there.
Three of Mr. Newton's sons were soldiers in the Civil War.
Mr. Newton was a trusted citizen of his town and vicinity. I quote the
following from the History of Newfane, Vt. It is a good record for any
man to leave behind him in his home town. It is written of him: "He had
more than ordinary intelligence and good sense. He was modest and unobtrusive
in his deportment; exceedingly practical in his views; respected for his judg-
ment. He was for forty years honored with the most important municipal offices
in the gift of his townsmen. He represented the town in the General Assembly
two years [1817, 1856] ; was high sheriff of the county one year, and for six
consecutive years was elected and serve<] as Assistant Judge of Windsor (Vt.)
Court. At the time of his decease he was Treasurer and Deputy County Clerk.
During the last years of his life he was largely engaged in the execution of
responsible trusts growing out of the settlements of estates. From his own
ample means he distributed his charities with a liberal and open hand. He
was greatly respected while living and sincerely mourned at his decease."
The years he was Selectman were 1847, 1850, 1851, 1852, 1853, 1855, 1860.
During those years he was Moderator of the Annual Meeting in 1854, '55, '59,
'61, '63; Constable, 1839, '41, '45, '46, "47, '48; Town Clerk, 1867 and 1868.

on the committee of arrangements. "Cousin Mary is quite a literary
woman. Just now is, and for some time has been correspondent to the
Brattleboro, Vermont, Plicnia^. They live in the house their father built
when the present Newfane was Fayetteville. Newfane was on the top of
the hill — three miles straight up. There is little left of the old, busy,
little village on the hill except the little marble stones with numbers on
them, and where the Court-house stood is a larger marble on which is the
key to the numbers. One stone marks the site of Luke Knowlton's
house (he was brother-in-law of Col. Ephraim Holland, who married
Eunice Newton°) ; another the site of the church; and so on. I am
proud to say that it was the nice thought of Cousin Mary Newton to
mark these sites, as most of the buildings were taken bodily down the
hill to the valley of Fayetteville and the others were entirely destroyed."

She writes : ''We know very little except of Grandfather, Capt. John Newton,

he married and remained until their oldest child (my mother) was 3 years of
age, when they returned to Bainbridge and resided until the close of his life.
He was one of the leading business men of the town. The same is true of his
membership in the Episcopal church. lie owned large tracts of land which he
cultivated; had a saw-mill and carried on a large business in lumbering; had a
floui'-mill, which he operated. lie was not a mechanic or a carpenter, but he cer-
tainly was a builder, for there are now [1913] six houses standing of his build-
ing— had built. Yet all through his active, busy years, ho kept up his music,
being chorister in his church until nearly seventy years of age — repeatedly resign-
ing and as often recalled. His eldest daughter, my mother, when sixteen years
of age was sent away to learn instriunental music. He had an organ built
expressly for her. She was the first organist in the town, and played the first
church organ in the town ; h(>r father being chorister. Wlien my mother mar-
ried her next sister took her place, and when she married and removed to
Green, her next sister took the place — and so on until four daughters had offici-
ated for a time. By that time my eldest sister. Amy Pearsall, who inherited
her mother's and grandfather's musical talent, was installed organist, and after
her, my sister Emily, until her leaving for Salt Lake, as a Missionary under
Bishop Tuttle — grandfather being chorister the while, resigning, and being
recalled on account of his superior talent.
■ "My grandfather was Captain of the Military Company of the Town. At
Military drills every year, it was my pride to see him in his three-cornered hat,
epaulets and sword, mounted on his gay horse, giving orders to his men ; while we
little urchins hung over the gate eating gingerbread and molasses candy. They
were great days, those general training days.

His widow and his daughter live at the home in College Hill, a suburb of Cin-

In reply to my desire for further information regarding the life and work
of her father, his daughter writes : "My father did not gra<luate from Williams
College, but came West to Section Ten, as Northwestern Ohio was then called,
to his brother Silas Chipman Newton.
"In 1850 ho walked across the plains to the gold-fields of California; was in
the mines making a living as he could for two years. Then, as he was ill, he
went on a 'tramp schooner' that plied up and down the Pacific Coast — became
so fond of the sea that he took longer voyages, to Lima, and Valparaiso — living
on shore a few^ weeks until his money was used up, then on ship again to earn
more. He served as cook or scullion or able seaman, or anything. He sailed
around the Horn, and was in Rio Janeiro some months. Then, suddenly, he
decided to go home; shipped on the old man-of-war 'Massachusetts.' He was
at home a few months, then went to Troy, N. Y, ; studied law and was admitted
to the Bar; then went out West to Omaha, 'which he helped to lay out — for
he was in the Land Office. He drifted back to Cincinnati, where his brother
Chipman had now settled, and went into a bank; was in a County Clerk's office
for a while; but found his natural vocation finally in the Library, which he
loved as a child. And among those books he died. I don't think I have given
you all his occupations. He used to say he had 30 different ones during his
career."

65. MOSES NEWTON^ JR. (Moses=, Eichardi), son of Moses, Sr., and
Johanna (Larkin) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there Fe!)ruary 28,
11)69. There is no record of his death; but that he survived his wife is the
inference to be drawn from the record of her death, which is written "wife"
and not "widow."
He married at Marlborough, December 11, 169.5, Sarah How, daughter of Isaac
and Frances (Woods) How* of Marlborough, where she was bom January 28,
1675. She died in Southborough, December 4, 173.3. "Wife of Moses."
I suppose this is the Moses Newton who married in Southborougli (where they
both resided), October 31, 1743, Mrs. Eebecca (Newton) Mixer, widow of Ben-
jamin Mixer, who died in 1728. She was cousin of this Moses Newton, being
daughter of Isaac Newton-, son of Richard^ See her number (182).
Moses Newton^, Jr., probably lived all of his life in Marlborough-Southbor-
ough. He already owned lauds tliere as appears from the deed below, when in
1703 he received in his father's lifetime, by deed of gift, his portion of ihe
estate.
In the settlement of Shrewsbury, Mass., there appears to have been the usual
petition for the grant, signed by those who became original proprietors. The
original jjetition, or a copy of it, cannot be found. It was probably destroyed
in 1760, when the State House, with numerous files of valuable papers, was
burned. There is, however, extant the order for the committee to lay out the
"several House lots in said lands, in nimiher and quantity as set down against
each Grantees' name, respectively, upon and with the following conditions and
provisos, and not otherwise." One condition was that the said petitioner should
settle at least one family on each farm within six years. The conunittee sat
at Boston October 23, 1717. Lot No. 17 was granted "to Moses Newton, fifty-
one acres and an half, 51 1," December 30, 1718. Several years later the proprie-
tors required an account of these houselots, the quantity of meadow and so
forth allotted to each, to be entei-ed on their book. The following is a copy of
"Lot No. 17, Granted to Moses Newton, Dec. 30, 1718. This 17th Houselot in
Shrewsbury contains in it 59 acres, and hath a 50 acre right belonging to it,
&c. and is situated East from Ashans hill, and is bounded Easterly by the town
line. Westerly by the ISth Iloiise Lot [.lohn Sbattuck, 58 acres]. Southerly and
Northerly by undivided land. The Swamp within the Lot is estimated as 2i
acres of valuable meadow. Ho hath to make up his division of meadow, 3i acres
of meadow and swamp near the South East part of Rocky Pond. This Lot
(17) is now, Jan. 31, 1729, in the possession of Aaron Newton," who was a
son of this Moses Newton-'; and another son, Elisha Newton, in 1765. held "in
right of 17th House Lot, next his own land." Thus it would seem the grant
was a foresight of Moses Newton^ for the purpose of providing for his sons.

There is no Probate record of tlie settlement of his estate either in Middle-

The family of Moses Newton^' resided in Marlborough, wliere all the children

The following deed is interesting in connection with the ancestry of Moses

66. DAVID NEWTON'' (Moses=, Eichardi), son of Moses, Sr., and Johanna
(Larkin) Newton of Marlborough. Mass.. was iiorn there March 12, 1672, and
died there April 4, 1702, aged about 30 years.
He married at Marlborough, March 11, 1696-7, Hannah Leonard, daughter
of Isaac and Deliverence ( ) Leonard^ of Bridgewater, and perhaps of
* John Woodsi, Sr., of Sudl)ury, and an early proprietor .md prominent man of Marl-

Bridgewater; taxed in Jlendon for lands owned there. 1001 to 1(;06 ; owned land in Wor-
cester; wf. Deliveeexce . Their children, born in Bridgewater, were: Isaac', b.
BRAXCll OF MOSKS 167
Worcester. She was born at Bridgewater, March 15, 1680, and died, possibly
at Easton, April 22, 1753, aged 73.
She married (2) Nathaniel Manley (son of William of Easton), who
died April 21. 1753, and had five children by him, namely: Ichabod, 1709;
Hannah, 1711; Kebeeca, 1714; Elizabeth, 1716; Mai-y, 1720.
David Newton's lands, consisting of his homestead of twenty acres, with
dwellinghouse and a "sliop," were in Marlborough, where his three children
were born. He made his will the day before he died, signing with his mark.
May 26, 1703, the will was probated and the widow Hannah, admitted executrix.
It seems that "the providence of God" did "so order it y' Shee Should Marye
againe," and probably, Moses Newton% Sr., who was made overseer of the will,
had much to do in the bringing up of the children. Inventory, £94. 06.
David Newton was one of those opposed to the settlement of Rev. John
Emerson as pastor.
The caption of David Newton's will and inventory states that they were filed
"26: May 1702" and recorded in vol. 10, page 459. This will and probate
were copied (they were traced) for me by Mr. Sumner F. Brovra, who describes
the paper: "This Will and probate, all on one sheet of deckel edge crasse
unruled paper, folded in middle to make four pages. The will & probate on
front page, second blank, third with the Caption & record & other memoranda,
& fourth with the inventory, or rather the Will & Inventory on the inside 2
pages — Will right. Inventory left."
Some of his lands were bis by deed of gift from his father a short time before.
[See an abstract of the deed under Moses Newton-.] Not land granted to Moses
Newton=, but purchased by him — in part.

Johanna (Larkin) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was bom there March 23,
1676 [1675 Middlesex Rec] ; died at Marlborough, April 8, 1704.
He married at Marlborough, December 23, 1700, Mary Leonard, daughter of
Samuel and Abigail (Wood) Leonard^ of Bridgewater. Mass., born . died
at Westborough, wife of David Brigham, December 1, 1748. She married (2)
in Marlborough, October 21, 1709 [Nov. C. R.], as his second wife, David Brig-
ham-\ son of Thomas- and Mary (Rice) Brigham of Marlborough, where he was
bom April 12, 1678. They had four children bom in Marlborough; then
removed to Westborough and had there two more. He died at Westborough,
Mass., June 26, 1750. His will is dated June 14, 1748.
Edward Newton seems to have been comfortably settled in Marlborough when
he died, without making a will, at the early age of 29 years. His house and
lands, worth £60, together with the "movables" of his estate, made a good
beginning for a young man at that period of time. Of his life we know only
that he was one of those opposed to the settlement of Rev. John Emerson, and
what the papers in connection with the administration of his estate convey.
These papers are many, and all are interesting ; interesting not only as they per-
tain to this estate, but as showing with what carefulness and precision legal
affairs were then performed — even as now.

BRANCH OF MOSES ]77
of names tells us who wore the neighbors of Jonathan Newton as late as 1711.
They were all more or less closely connected with the Newton family.
He was a farmer, like everybody else, to a greater or less extent, in those
times.
He had distributed his property among his children and his wife during his
lifetime, as his will would suggest. I do not know that Nathan Newton, the
son who was made sole executor, then resided with his father, but at one time
he resided in the "garrison house."
This was known to Sophia Newton, granddaughter of Nathan, who so reported
to me. Nathan may have been living in the house with his parents at this
tiuK^ and in cIkivlic of the farm. A "garrison house" was always selected on
account of its being larger, more central, and more easily defended than those
about it. There were frail pickets inclosing the houses, which soon perished after
the use for them was gone. Near to this garrison house was the house of John
Newton, Jr., to which many other families were assigned, and both were in
what became Southborougb.
As Mr. Newton does not provide for his wife by will, we suppose he had already
done so while living, in the same way that he had given to his children. And
now, the will seems principally to have been made to ensure that his unmarried
daughters shall have a roof-covering by right always in their father's house.
The widow, Bethia, died the j'ear after her husband. She, too, seems to have
given away all while living, as there is no settlement of her estate.
The papers of the Administration and the will are here given:

19, 1688, and died in Westborough, Mass., February 9, 1755.
lie manned in Marlborough , 171(5, C. E. 1, Elizabeth Wood.s.
The will of Deacon Joseph Newton-, dated April 18, 1720, has the following:
"Iti'iii. I give Elizabeth Newton tlie wife of Joseph Newton one pewter PhitiT
only having already advanced her portion for [a gift, crossed out] her service
Done to me before her marriage. Also she is to have all the Books having her
name written in them." It seems to me this Elizabeth Woods may have been
a near relative of the wife of Deacon Joseph Newton-, Katherine Woods, and
lived with them before marriage as one of the family. The Jdiighlers of Deacon
Joseph are so designated in the will.
Deacon Josiali Newton'' married (2) in Westborough, Mass., December 8, 1730,
C. R., Ruhamah Maynard, daughter of David and Hannah ( ) ]\Iaynard"
of Marlborough, wliere she was born December 20, 1706. She died .
In 1737 Deacon Josiah Newton bought for £377 "six-tenths of one whole share
that is already lotted out, or to be lotted out ; there being twelve shares or whole
proprietors'' in Lambstown, now ITai'dwick; out of which ijrojierty he gave
farms to his sons Silas^ and Timotliy*.
He died February 9, 1755, aged about 67, in Westborough, leaving what was
then a large estate, valued at £1,282. 4s. 7d. His widow, Ruhamah, survived him.
In the division of Deacon Newton's estate in 1755 a share was assigned to
Elizabeth, wife of Silas Warren, apparently tlie eldest ilaughtcr, and a share to
his daughter Mai-y, wife of Asa Brigham.
Deacon Josiah Newton" was a tanner.
His children were born in Westborough, si.x by first wife and ten by second
wife. Their names are also reeonled in Ilardwick. Wiien ami where the two
wives died does not appear.
Deacon Newton seems always to be identified with Westborough. 1 doubt
if he ever Jived in Hardwick — though lie bought land there. His will was exe-

I cannot find the parentage of Elizal)eth Woods or of Katherine Woods, I have thought
sometimes that Katherine Woods, wife of Joseph Newton-, may have been a widow Woods,
and Elizabeth, her daughter, was the reason he gave to her in his will the same as though
she were one of the family, and had been since her schoolliook days. See the will of Joseph
Newton^. This is merely a suggestion. I have no proof at all.

cuted. and the adiniuistratioii of his estate, at Wcsthorough, 1755. Case iii Pro-
bate, No. 43,261.
Deacon Josiah Newton'' lived in WesthorouKh, Mass., where for many years
he was a prominent citizen. His hind and that of 'J'liomas Newton^, son of
John^ (Richard'), were set off from Marlborough, and they both took active
part in church and town affairs.
On the 18th of November, 1717, the westerly part of the territory of Marl-
borough, then known as Chauncy, was incorporated with other lands, and received
the name of Westborough. Subsequent additions were made to this tract from
Sutton in 1728, from Shrewsbury in 1762 and 1793, and from Upton in 1763.
In 1766 the Second Precinct of Westboroufrh was made the District of North-
boroug'h, and in 1775 this was set off as a separate town.
Westborough was incorporated November 18, 1717; the church organized
October 28, 1724. Northborough was incorporated October 20, 1744; the church
organized Ma.y 21. 1746. Southborough was incorporated July 6, 1727; the
church organized October 24, 1730.
At the time of the incorporation of Wcsthorough. there were in the town
twenty-si.x families and six young men. A month after the incorporation, on
January 15, 1718, it was voted to build a meeting house, Thomas Newton-' being
one of the building committee. He was chosen to be one of the selectmen 1718,
'19, '22, '25, '29. Josiah-' was chosen selectman 1723, '39-'41, '43-'47, '49, '52-'54,
and his son Barnabas'*, 1778-'81. Later their descendants, Daniel Fay Newton",
1848-'49, '54, '68, '72-'74, and Otis Newton", 1851, '52, '58, held that office, as
well as town clerk and town treasurer. Josiah-' was treasurer 1735, '36, '48, '50,
'52, '53. Abner-*, son of Thomas'*, was town treasurer 1739, '46. '47. And Barna-
bas^, son of Josiah-'', towm treasurer 1779-'81.
At a meeting October 28, 1724, the evangelical church in Westborough was
organized with twelve members. Josiah Newton was the moderator of the meet-
ing (1724) to call a minister. The first minister was Rev. Ebenezer Parkman.
He recorded on the fly leaf of his church record the names of the first inhabi-
tants of the town, among whom are Thomas' and Josiah" Newton.
Thomas" was one of the original members of the church. Other early mem-
bers of the name were: Josiah-'', April 4, 1727; his wife, Ruliamah, February
14, 1713; Vashti, wife of Abner* (Thomas'), February 22, 1736; Elizabeth,
September 6, 1741, and Barnabas-*, April 11, 1790 (she was dismissed and he
died) ; and Eunice, the wife of Barnabas^, April 11, 1790, the same date as his.
In Februarj', 1728, an earthquake having given opportunity for the minister to
warn the people, the meeting was called to consider charges against Josiah New-
ton", "Military Clerk," and afterward Deacon. Josiah Newton" was elected
Deacon, June 8, 1738.
February 5, 1729, the town gave "the vacant room behind ye front Gallery
to" [seven men, one being Abner Newton-*], "as far as ye south window, to
build a pew" (in the meeting house), "they making a good seat before their
pew for ye Boys, and mending ye glass and barring ye casement of sd window."
In 1748-'49 Deacon Josiah" and Abner* Newton were on the building com-
mittee to build a new meetinghouse.
February 6, 1753, Voted to sell no pew-spots to non-residents. The price ranged
from £1. 6. 8. to £5. 12. 9. Deacon Josiah Newton" had the "first on left of
pulpit." "Widdo Vashty Newton" had, "in hind seats on right hand, next to
women's door."

00. EBENEZEE NEWTON'' (Moses=, RichardO, son of Moses and Joanna
(Larkin) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there July 26, 1692, and died
at Southborough, Mass., November IG, 1765.
Ho married at Marlborough, Mass., October 25, 1722, Joanna Larkin, daugh-
ter of Edward'' and Mary (Walker) Larkin* of Charlestown, Mass., where she
was born March 19 or 25, 1698-9, and died at Southborough, Mass., January 20,
1745-6.
Ebenezer^ lived in that part of Marlborough which was set off in 1727 as the
town of Southborough. The births of the first three children occurred in Marl-
borough; the births of the last three in Southborough.
Ebenezer Newton was his father's youngest son. When he became of age, the
deeds show that his father gave to him, and to his brother Jacob, joint].y, the
homestead and all lands and rights then held by Moses, Sr., except a piece of
meadow. Neither of the yoinig men were then married; had probably always
lived with their parents, who were now advanced in years and willing to give
over into younger hands the management of their affairs.
In the fall of 1722, Ebenezer married, and in the spring of 1724 there was a
readjustment, in order that there might be two families in the house, instead of
only the one and all things in conunon. The two deeds show how this was
accomplished by gift and exchange. Up to this time they had apparently lived
in Waltham. Fell. 18. 1742; m. Burn<ibii.'< Xeirlnn' (s. .Tosiah') ; ■Joseph', b. in Mendon, 1744;

ill the house as one family; as shortly before, Moses, Sr., had made his will,
wherein he says: "my two sons Jacob and Ebenezer (who now dwell together)"
—and besides these sons, there were Moses, Sr., his wife and their granddaughter,
Mercy Leonard. Ebenezer's wife was a grandniece of his mother. [See note to
John Newton-.]
I do not find the court settlement of his estate, if there was one. See Moses

1489. ISAAC XEWTON^ of Stafford, Conn. [It seems to me that this is
the eldest son of Moses Newton' (Moses-, Richard^), bom in Marlborough, Mass.
"[Aug. 24.] " (prob. 1G96), who married December 8, 1719, Grace Garfield,
and then is not again mentioned on the records of either Marlborough or South-
borough, or the surrounding towns. He simply disappears from that vicinity.
It is not unreasonable to suppose that he knew of the trail down into Connect-
icut and so on to New York City, that soon after his marriage he followed that
trail as far as Windsor, Conn., and finding that place to his mind tarried there
for several years. Later, when the town of Stafford had advanced in population
enough to become desirable as a place of residence — there may have been a
"boom" in town lots — ho took up land there.]
The first records of the town of Stafford, Conn., were in 1720. "In 1728 Staf-
ford was laid out as a town in the Colony of Connecticut." "Isaac Newton's
name occurs on the Stafford land records in 1740, 1749 and 1752." "On March
21, 1752, is recorded the sale of land to his son Moses." "In 1748 Isaac Newton
appears on the records as a buyer of land, therein described. Later his son
Moses had some land transferred t.o him by his father; and thereafter there is
a record of births, marriages and deaths, which can be traced down to some of
the family now living."
186 XEWTOX GEXKALOGY
There are a number of deeds to and from Isaac Newton in the records of East
Windsor, Conn., the dates of which wovdd probably detcnnine whether the father
or the son Isaac Newton was the maker or receiver of the deed.
Some of these pieces of land lay near the Somer line, as some are described as
being in both towns — East Windsor and Somer. Thus father or son Isaac must
have lived somewhere in the Ellington Parish.
It is stated that Isaac Newton, Sr., of Statford, died in 1771, also that his
grandson Isaac (son of Jloses) died May 19, 1771. I have not seen the record.
Unless there were two deaths recorded, I fancy the full date is that of the grand-
father, and there was no grandson (s. of Moses) Isaac.
I have found nothing further of the wife Grace Garfield. And as none of the
children of Moses of Stafford have the name it is possible she died and Isaac
had a second wife — name not yet known — all is my conjecture, not proof.
In regard to the children, there are only three of win mi wc may be reasonably
sure ; and there were probably others.
In regard to the then use of the "senior" and "junior," it did not follow that
the persons were father and son. Names were so many times repeated that there
were several living of the same name. Sometimes cousins, uncle and nephew,
were so differentiated.

"The will of John Bellows. Jr. (John ). tiled August lo. 1772. gives
legacies to his wife Sarah . . . ; to his daughter Persis. wife of Moses Newton
of vStafford, Conn.; to his daughter Prudence, widow of Amos Newton; to his
daughter Mary, wife of Joshua Newton of Southborough." The chihlren of John
Bellows, Jr., and wife Sarah, born in Southborough and married there, were:
1. Persis, born September 1, 1727; m. May 13, 1747, Moses Newton, Jr.; 2. Pru-
dence, born July 8. 1729; m. April 26, 1749, Amos Newton; 3. Mary, born
; m. March 11, 1761, Joshua New'ton ; 4. Jonathan, born August 7, I'^H.
Thus it will be evident that Isaac Newton of Stafford and his children were
far from being strangers to the Newtons and Bellows of Southborough — and
farther along there is other evidence. But because we do not certainly linow
the parentage of this Isaac Newton, I shall not separate the families of his sons,
luit give the several generations all here in a bunch.
1597. 1. MOSES XEWTON-' of Stafford (Isaac^), styled "Jr.." was pmbably
born between 1720 and 1725 in Coiuiecticut. He marrieil at Southborough, May
13, 1747, Persis Bellows, daughter of John, Jr., and Sarah Bellows of South-
borough, Mass., where she was born September 1. 1727. [I suppose this is John
Bellows- (John') and second wife Sarah Johnson of Marlborough.]
Moses Newton was a blacksmith and is so designated on the deed in the
Stafford Land Records of March 21, 1752, by which some land w-as transferred
to him from his father, Isaac Newton, the tract of land being in Stafford town-
ship. Conn.
Moses New^ton, with his son John, made guns that were used in the Revolution-
ary War.
It would seem that Moses Newton did not .return to Connecticut immediately
after his marriage, but resided in Southborough until after the birth of the two
oldest children, which are recorded there. The third child, born in May at Staf-
BRAXCri OK JIOSKS IS'^
ford, and the execution of the deed there in March. 1752, would indicate the
removal of the whole family from Massachusetts to Connecticut about that time —
they were now making a permanent home. Tlieir children were:

Bradley of Tolland, Conn., who died February 10, 1835, and is buried at Elling-
ton. Mr. Newton was a blacksmith and assisted his father in making guns which
were used in the War of the Revolution. ITo was a soldier of that war. A letter
now in the possession of his great grandson, Charles IT. Newton, was written
July, 1776, by John Newton to his son John, Jr., then in Camp at Cambridge,
Mass., in Capt. Pease's Company of minutemen — private in the Connecticut
militia. In the list of men in "Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolution,"
there is the service of "John Newton, Smith's Company, enlisted July 20, 1776,
Col. Bradley, discharged Jan. 14, Private."
Mr. Newton bought land in Ellington, Conn., and settled there. The First
United States Census, 1790, shows John Newton head of a household at Elling-

Southborough, there being others of the name in that town, who were settled
there, while he seems not to have been settled anywhere. He married at South-
borough, April 2(3, lT-10, Prudenee Bellows, daughter of John, Jr., and Sarah
Bellows of Southborough, where she was born .1 idy s, 1729. She is mentioned
in her father's will [see above] filed August !'■'•. 1772. as "Widow of Amos New-
ton," which is the onl,y date I have indicating the pericid of his death. He was
probably about forty-five years old when he died. Their first child was born in
Southborough; the second at Stafford, Conn., and so recorded on the Southbor-
ough records. About this time his family was with him in Massachusetts. The
Worcester County Warnings show that in April, 1752, Amos Newton, wife and
two daughters from Stafford, Conn., w-ere warned out of Southborougli. Warrant
returned to the Court, August 18, 1752. His children were:

1599. 3. ISAAC NEWTON' (Isaac^). We have far from enough data
regarding this son of Isaac Newton of Stafford. Dr. II. O. Allen, town clerk of
East Windsor, Conn., states: "There are a number of deeds in the records of
East Windsor, to and from Isaac Newton, but as Stiles' History says his father's
name was also Isaac, I am in doubt as to which Isaac is meant in each case."
"He must have lived somewhere in the Ellington Parish, very near the Somers
line, as some of the pieces of land are described as being in both towns." The
following dates are from East Windsor, Conn. He married April 19, 1758, Sarah
Levett. Their children were:

1(548. ISAAC NEW^TON" [whom I suppose is the son of Isaac' (Isaac* of
Stafford), bom June 23, 1759 (see above)] moved from East Windsor, Conn., to
Randolph, Vt., where he owned land and where he had children, and probablv
died before 1809.
In Book I, page 91, of Land Records at Randolph, Vt., is record of a deed from
Jonathan Brown of Spring-field, Mass., dated June G, A.D., 1785, to Isaac New-
ton of East Windsor, Conn., recorded September 23, 1785, of one-half an original
lot of land, one-half of lot 24, which would be about 100 acres. There is also
a deed of thirty acres, dated February 22, 1792, when Isaac Newton's residence
is given as Randolph, Vt.
The records show that Lemuel Newton of Batavia, Genesee County, N. Y.,
deeded this same land by two deeds, one in 1809 as of Randolph, Vt., and the
other in 1811 as of Batavia, N. Y.; so he probably left Randolph between those
two dates.
It is known by his descendants that Isaac had three sons (whose posterity is
here given), John". Lemuel" and Isaac"; but whether there were other children
they do not know.

1G51. JOHN NEWTON' (s. of Isaac" of East Windsor, Conn., and Randoliili,
Vt.), born August 2, 177.''), probably at East Windsor, Conn.; died September •2i,
1834, at Darien, Genesee County, N. Y. ; married at Randolph, Vt., February
10, 1799, Anna Cole (whose parentage is not traced), born October 15, 1781; died
September 12, 1875. Mr. Newton moved from Vermont to New York State about
or before 1810. Of his eight children, the first three were born at Randoli)h, Vt. ;
the fourth and fifth were born in New York State, town not given; the sixth
in Pembroke, Genesee County. N. Y.; the seventh and eighth in New York
State, town not given; and the father died in Darien, N. Y. This gives the
inference that his itinerary in New York was confined to Genesee County. His

Kl.-)2. LEMUEL NEWTON" (son of Isaac" of East Windsor, Conn, and lian-
iloljih, Vt.) was born March 16, 1778, probably at East Windsor, Conn., "and
died April 20, 1801. in Darien, N, Y.," writes Mrs. J. N. Cleveland.
He married at Ro.yalston, Vt., August 11, 1807, Nancy Tag'S'art, daug-bter of
"Joseph and Lydia (Jones) Taggart, who moved from Hillsborough, N, H., to
Eoyalston, Vt., and later to .Stoekbridge, Vt., where they are buried. The Tag-
192 NEWTON GENEALOGY
garts are of Scotch-Irish desceiit. Xancy Tag'g-art was born in Hillsborough,
N. H., January 29, 178-1: ; married in Royalston, Vt, Lemuel Newton. They went
to Holland. N. Y., where she died January 2, 1859" — is the statement of their
granddaughter, Mrs. Jennie Taggart Dike. She died in Yorkshire, N. Y., is
another statement.
Mrs. Helen A. Wolcott writes: "ily grandfather, Lemuel Newton, ... I
remember seeing him only at long intervals while I was a child. He was one
of the early settlers of what was known as the Holland Purchase, in western
New York. I have an impression that my grandfather was in the War of 1812."
"My father used to speak of his inicle Isaac, who, I supposed, was grandfather's
brother." ''I found a letter in an old BiVile, from Isaac Taggart [brother of
Nancy Taggart] his wife's brother, dated Stockbiidge. ifarch 2:5, 1857." He,
too, would be "Uncle Isaac" to Levi Newton."
Either by purchase or inheritance, or both, Lemuel Newton came into posses-
sion of lands in Eandol|ili, Vt., which he later sold — see record of deeds above —
and removed between 1S09 and 1811 to Batavia, N. Y. The family were first in
Darien, N. Y. (same county), awhile in 1810, for their oldest child was born there.
His five children were:

From the following record of the marriages and deaths of his children it would

1C.55. ISAAC NEWTON of South Pomfret, Vt., once lived in Randolph, Vt.
Ho was engaged in the "Manufacture of and a dealer in Fine Carriages and
Sleighs." He wrote to me Jul.y -0, 1907, saying when he had a little time he
would scud a record of his family as far back as he could. I regret his failure
to do so. I had the impression that he was a man well into years. [I suppose
he is somehow related to Dr. Ogden B. Newton, perhaps the father was Isaac",
iu-dtlicr of .loliii" and Lemuel Newton.']
M9l'. ELTSIIA NEWTON^ (Moscs\ Moses=, Richard'), son of Moses, Jr.,
and Sarah (How) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there October 28,
1701. It is said of him and his wife: "Their deaths are not on record, but each
are said to have lived to be about 90"; if so he died about 1791.

about 1798. vShe was admitted to the church at Shrewsbury in ]7;!4.
Mr. Newton was "of Shrewsbury" at date of his marriage. He ]irol)ably was
arranging to settle there before that date and was improving some of the land
taken up — "granted" to his father, Moses Newton, Lot No. 17, as well as some
of his own. 'I'his appears from the fact that he received a portion of the lands
laid out in "17(5.5. To Elisha Newton, in right of 17th House-Lott, next his
own land." His brother Aaron had been oetaipying this House Lot, granted to
their father in 1718, since 1729. and he also may have done so. His twelve chil-

Sarali (How) Newton of Marlliorough, Mass., was born there, September 7, 1707,
and died .
"He was living in the North Parish of Shrewsbury in 1760, and died before
1769."' His will was allowed July 7, 1777.
He married at Marlborough, Mass., January 28, 1729, Eunice Newton (225),
daughter of John-' and Hannah (Morse) Newton of Marlborough (No. 11), where
she was born September 1, 1709. She died after 1777, as per his will.
In 1729 Aaron Newton and wife Eunice were living in Shrewsbury on House
Lot No. 17, the lot of fifty-nine acres granted to his father, December 30, 1718.
It was in the possession of Aaron Newton, January 31, 1729, [Its bounds are
described under Moses Newton-', his father], and he seems to have moved to it
and settled there at date of his marriage. Other lands in Shrewsbury were laid
out at divers times in right of the several House Lots, and to Aaron Newton
a portion, in 1744, in right of 17th House Lot. In 1765 his brother Elisha also
had lands granted by Shrewsbury in right of the 17th House Lot, as had also
Eli Iveyes, Jr. Aaron Newton was, perhaps, set off to Lancaster in 1768, His
childr(>n were born in Shrewsbury.
In 1760 Aaron Newton, Edward Newton, with seven other men, were appointed
highway surveyors, ami Aaron to repair certain other roads.
In 1761 the town refunded, with interest, the amounts persons were taxed too
nuu'h on their money in the years 1758 and 1759, and Aaron Newton, having been
thus taxed in 1758, £00. 10s. lid., was refunded 2s, 2d.; taxcil in 1759, £00, lis,
lOd., was refunded 2s. 6d.
There is mentioned in the History of Ilolden, Mass,, the names of "Aaron
Newton," "Widow Newton," In his will he is described as Aaron Newton of
Ilolden. It is stated that the town of Ilolden was taken wholly from the original
town of Worcester and incorporated in 1741. In 1804 and 1808 portions of it
were annexed to Paxton and West Boylston. In 1831 and 1838 further changes
occurred in the bounds between Ilolden and Paxton. How and when he became a
citizen of Holden is unknown to me; but there it was, in 1777, that his estate
was settled. As he had no sons this is the end of his line of the Newton name.

etc. [see Ephraim. No. 157.] While Azubali was not the "eldest daughter" bom
to her father, she was probably the eldest then (1701) living. This proves who the
mother, "Azubah," of Amos's children was. The will of Mary*, daughter of
Ephraim'', gives to "sister Azubah Newton," earrings; "to brother-in-law Amos
Newton-"," all residue of estate and appoints him executor.

ter of James and Thankful ( ) Bellows*, of Ilopkinton and Southborough,
Mass., born at Southborough, May 14, 1734. died there November 7, 1807.
Abstract of her will follows :

The mention of her brother, James Bellows, and the above near relatives, indi-
cate which Thankful Bellows she was. In the will of her husband, Amos New-
ton, she is given only certain household goods. She had probably been provided
for during his lifetime. No children.
Amos Newton, Sr.. lived in that jiart of Marlborough that became South-
borough, and his children were all born in the latter town. He is styled "Sen."
probably to distinguish him from the son of John Newton of the same town,
who is "Amos, Jr." In 1790 (U. S. Census), his family comprised himself as
head, one male below sixteen years, and two females.

Edward Newton'' was about three and one-half years old when his father died.
In 1709, his mother married aj^ain. She having been made guardian of the
children, and administratrix of their father's estate, cared for them and it until
she was discharged by the Court, and the property was turned over to the chil-
dren. [See the papers concerning settlement of estate of Edward-'.] This would
indicate that he had something to start with when he became of age; and he
married soon afterward. The family probably lived in Hopkinton awhile and
then moved to Shrewsbury about the beginning of 1727 or before. The births of
four of his children are recorded there on the town records, and two were bap-
tized there. Edward and his wife were admitted to the church at Shrewsbury in
1736 — they lived in the North Province of the town — and were dismissed in 1744
from that church to form a church in the west part of Lancaster.
In 1768 the families of Edward* and his sons SannieP and Edwai'il'', Jr., were
set off to the town of Lancaster.
The will of Edward Newton-' is dated October IS, 17ii."i. in which he mentions
his wife Elizabeth, sons Edward, Jr., and Ezekiel, and daughters ILartha New-
ton, Mary, wife of Daniel Perry, and Estlier, wife of John Britton.
He died before the end of the year 1765, since his will was probated that
year, and the estate settled at Shrewsbury. Case in Probate Court, No. 43,114.
This would be before he was set oil to Lancaster as above.

23, 1723. "He removed to Vermont and died at advanced age" — may or ma.v not
be true. But he must have died before 1811, to leave his wife Lydia a "widow."
He married at Marlbbrough-Southboroug'h, Mass., June 5, 1750, E.xperience
Stow, daughter of Thomas and Hannah (.Fohnson) Stow* of Marlborough, where
she was bom February 24, 1727. She died in Southborough, May 3, 1755, aged
28. Three children.
He married (2) in vSouthborough, January 13, 1757, Lydia Hager, daughter of

She was born at Framingliam, March 4, 1729-'30. "Widow Lydia, died May 2,
1811, aged 81. C. R."; in Southborough. Three children.
Nathan Newton lived in Southborough. His children were all born there.
The First United States Census, 1790, shows him to be the head of a family there,
which then consisted of himself and two females; these latter being proliablv
his wife and daughter Lydia.
Bond states that this family later move<l to Vermont; but there is no such
tradition in the family.
Nathan Newton was given tools of various kinds in the will of his father, but
nothing of much value, and was made sole executor of the will. His brothers and

sisters are mentioned as Waving received "their full portions in time past. To
some of them I have given lands to otliers household goods or money according to
my ability."
Nathan Newton's granddaughter, Sophia Newton'', with whom I have cor-
responded, writes that her grandfather lived in one of the "garrison" houses.
Since Jonatlian Newton's house was one of the "Garrisons," we suppose that
Nathan Newton lived in the house with his father, and was so living when the
father died and made Nathan executor of his will. The will does not mention
Natlian among the children to whom he had given their "full portions," and the
articles he does give would not now be considered of much worth — "my chest,
my gun, all my chairs, three iron Wedges, an iron bar, an iron stake, an iron Beck
horn, all my Cart irons, one meet tuhb, one of my Cider pails, my half bushel
& lialf my meal troughs, . , . all my sider barrels & hogsheds, two augures &
a hand saw" — yet in those days such tools and articles were of real value. It is
possible that Nathan was to inherit his mother's iiortion, and that it was so
understood.
The descendants of Nathan Newton have no knowledge of his removing to
Vermont in his last years — though he may have done so. There is no probate
record of his estate in Massachusetts — if he had an estate.
The three sous of Nathan Newton were soldiers of the T{(>V(iluti<in.

1524. ELNATHAN NEWTON^ (Jonathan^ Mcses-, Ricliardi), son of Jona-
than and Bethia (Rice) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there July 15,
1724. He died at Marlborough, N. II., "August 12, 1792, in his 69th year."
He married at Southliorough, Mass., June 19, 1750, Jemima Joslin, daughter
of Abraham and Jemima (Snow) Joslin* of Marlborough, Mass., where she was
born July 29, 1729. She died his widow, at Marlborough, N. II., April 10, 1801,
aged 71.
Elnathan Newton moved about some after his marriage. His oldest child was'
bom at Holden, Mass. May 10, 1768, he went, with wife and children, Jemima,
Elizabeth, Asahel, Anna, Elnathan and Bethia, from New Braintree, Mass., to
Oakham, Mass., and was "warned out." They were probably on a move to their
permanent home, for the family is not mentioned on the records of either town.
Then they removed to and settled in Marlborough, N. II.. where they spent the
remainder of their lives. The historian of Marlborough, N. II., writes of liim :
"Elnathan Newton came from New Braintree to Marlborough in 1771 . . . he
is supposed to have emigrated from Southborough, Mass. . . . He settled on
the farm since owned by Moses Putney, in the southeast part of Marlborough.
His children were all born in Massachusetts. . . . His son Luke (supposed to
be the same as Zeneth) resided on the farm with Elnathan, liis father, was joint
owner with him and came in full possession of the plac(> on the death of his
father."
Elnathan Newton was one of the many citizens of jMarlborough. N. 11., wh'o
on April 12, 1776, signed as a member of the Committee of Safety, pledging tlieir
lives and fortunes to oppose the British.
As a soldier of the Revolution, Elnathan Newton's name appears on the pay-
roll of Capt. James Lewis' Company in Col. E. Hale's regiment, one of twenty-
six men who marched June 29, 1777, to reinforce the garrison at Ticonderoga.
At this date he would have been fifty-three years old, which is rather aged to
go a-soldiering; but his son Elnathan would be only thirteen years old, which
would be too young for him. Robert Converse and Phineas Park, other men who
were of the same age, an<l who also married Newtous, were out in the same com-
pany, so I think it was Elnathan, the father.
Three of the daughters were married in Keene, N. II. Perhaps the family
lived there for a time. 'J'he First United States Census, 1790, shows Elnathan
Newton (whom I suppose to be the son) head of a household at Walpole, N. II.,
the members of which, besides, were three females.
Elnathan Newton, mentioned in his father's will, received his portion during
the lifetime of the father.
The names and birthdntes of his children arc all given in the history of Marl-
borough, N. H.

V. E.
The historian of Framingham, Mass., which town lies directly cast of South-
borough and marches with it, states that Andrew Newton was born "on Fiddle
Neck" — a local name of part of that country; that he "had a forge, and a
gristmill on Ilopkinton river near the Southboroiigh line. Children recorded in
Southborough." 'i'liree children are so recorded. There are none recorded in
Framingham, The records of the town show no Newton births earlier than
1758 — just one then — and not again until one in 1772.
We ma,y, however, confidentl.y believe that Andrew Newton was a iilacksmith
and a miller. His desci-mlaiits say of him: "He lived in the vall<\v cd' the Deer-
iicld river, Mass. He ba<l a farm, gristmill, distillery, tavern and store, but lost
everything in a big law suit over water rights." They an; not clear about tiiis
ancestor. His proiiert.y was probabl.y all on Hopkinton river, and it was his son
James who went to the Deertield river vicinit.y.

nothing further of this family from the towns hereabout. Her pedigree
is through .Jotham*, Isaac•^ Isaac-', .Tohn Bellows^ of Concord, 1035, and
Marlborough, Mass., and wife Mary Wood= (dau. John'). It is possible
that after the war of the Kovolution. Jt-^se Newton removed to Vermont,

whole family being, himself, five males under sixteen years, and five

was born at Westborough, February 23, 1727-28. He died at Hardwick, July 10,
1811, aged 83 years.
He married at Hardwick, Mass., July 5, 17."il, Sarah Merrick, daughter of
Captain Constant and Sarah (Freeman) Merrick* of Hardwick, where she was
bom September 30, 1732. She died at Hardwick, November 23, 1803, aged 71.
Mr. Newton was a farmer in Hardwick, on the road to Barre, his farm being
part of the lands purchased by his father in 1737 in Hardwick. He probably
became identified with the town about the time of his marriage. In the French
war he was in the military service in 1748, and again in 1754 and 1755, in Col.
Abraham Williams' Company, one of the two companies in Marlborough. But
from September 20 to December 5, 1756, we find Ensign Timothy Newton in
the Company of Capt. Paul Mandell, a company from Hardwick in the Crown
Point expedition — forty-seven in all, and he Clerk of the Company. Samuel
Steward, also in this exjiedition, died near Crown Point — sickness.
Mr. Newton seems to have been one of the trusted and active men of the
town and was Selectman for the years 1774, 1777, 1786. In the "south com-
pany" of minutemen of Hardwick were Capt. Jonathan Warner and Ensign
Timothy Newton.
August 22, 1774, Hardwick chose a "Committee of Correspondence." Among
the fifteen members of it were Capt. Constant Mirrick and Ensign Timothy New-
ton. The same fifteen were reelected in 1775. In 1777, 1778 and 1779 Tim-
othy Newton was reelected to the same committee. After 1780 no further elec-
tions were necessary. The war was nearly over.
In February, 1770, Timothy Newton was one of a committee of three "to
secure Mr. Joel Foster to preach the Gospel in this town for a number of Sab-
baths." They were not successful.

of Deacon Jonathan and Mary (Harrington) Bond* of Watertown, Mendon and
Westborough, Mass., born in Westborough, February 18, 1842, and died .
Mr. Newton lived in W^estborough, Mass., where his children were born. He
and his wife were admitted to the evangelical church of Westborough, April 11,
1790, and against their names isi "died," without dates. Mr. Newton was
one of the trusted men of the town ; was chosen and held the office of Selectman
from 1778 to 1781 ; and the office of Treasurer 1779 to 1781.
He was a soldier of the Revolution. An abstract of his service follows : "Bar-

He married at Bridgewater, Mass., June 13, 1776, Hannah Sherman, daughter
of Anthony and Silence (Ford) Sherman* of Rochester and Bridgewater, Mass.
She was born in Bridgewater, October 25, 1719, and died there, , 1839, in
her 90th year. She married (2) in 1780, Gushing Mitehelli (2d wf.) of Bridge-
water, by whom she had children, and continued to reside there. He died in
1820 in his 80th year.
Josiah Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. His service in the army was,
I suppose, one of the following records : ''Newton. Josiah. Brookfield. Corporal.
Capt. Ithamar Wright's Company of Minute men, marched April 19, 1775, served
8 days. Enlisted April 27, 1775. Also, Sergeant, Capt. John Packard's Com-
pany." Several other items of service, the last date being Dec. 27. 1775.
"Newton. Josiah. Paxton. 1st Lieut, in Capt. Phineas Moore's Company of
Minute men, Col. Ephraim Doolittle's regiment. Marched April 19, 1775, to
Cambridge, service 19 days.''
The records at Brookfield contain his marriage as having occurred at Bridge-
water. This would indicate that he was then a resident of Brookfield, and his
daughter is called "only child of Josiah Newton of Brookfield." The date and
place of her birth does not appear.

whose wife and daughter were named Silence.] The record of her death in the
Family Bible is : "She died March 4, 1796, in her 69th year." The church rec-
ord of her death at Southborough is : "Widow Silence Newton, March 2. 1796."
It is pleasant to reach backward in our thoughts to something tangible in regard
to these ancestors, who seem, without it, to be but names only. Therefore I
quote from a letter written in 1888, by a great-granddaughter of Silence Bart-
lett, to me — who am also her descendant. She writes : "In her day they wore
short gowns and petticoats — the petticoat was very elaborately quilted in flowers.
... I have in my possession one that was hers. It was given to Aunt Patty"
[dau. of PauP], "who put it into the center of a bed quilt. The petticoat was
bright crimson — the color holds well. Aunt Sophia has a pincushion and a
pocket-book that were hers. 'She was a dressmaker, so my mother told me,'
said Aunt Sophia" [dau. of Paul]. "And the petticoat is now mine."
In the U. S. Census, 1790, Silence Newton is head of a household of two
females, at Southborough.
Edward and Silence Newton had two children whose births are recorded in
Southborough, and we know of the daughter Lovina.
The two sisters, Martha (called by her Aunt, "Cousin Patty") and Lovina,
married two brothers, as shown below.
Mr. Newton made his will not long before his death. He was a fanner in
Southborough. I think he lived there all of his life.

220 NEWTON GENEALOGY
It seemed to be the custom in the old times for the youngest son to remain
with the parents in the homestead and later to inherit it. Not always, but fre-
quently. It was so with Ebenezer^, and again with his son Solomon-*, who
repeated the custom to his youngest son, Willard^. In 1826, Solomon Newton
was living, aged 92, with his son, Willard, on the old homestead and farm, which
had been the home of his ancestors for more than 170 years. While always
remaining in the same place, the old mansion was destined to have quite an
itinerarj'. The lands of Richard Newton and his son Moses were in the town
of Marlborough until, on the division of the township in 1727, they fell into what
became Southborough ; which continued to be its home town until by act of the
Legislature (Cliapter 89). the mansion and its lands were transferred back to
Marlborough, in 1843. Thus Richard came to his own again ; but his great-
grandson, Solomon, did not live to see it. He did live, however, to participate
in the Centennial Celebration of the incorporation of Southborough, July 17,
1827.
Ilio First United States Census, 1790, gives the family of Solomon Newton
at Southborough, Mass., as consisting of himself, one male above sixteen years,
one male below sixteen years, and five females.
Ilis will was probated at Southborough in 1830, case in Probate Court at
Worcester No. 43,430, where it may be seen.

I suppose ho is the Elisha Newton, head of a family in Shrewsbury, enumer-
ated in the First United States Census, 1790— the whole number in the family
being two males ujiward of sixteen years, two males under sixteen years, and
three females. It is probable that the household was made up of himself, wife

1721. EZEKIEL NEWTON^ (ElisliaS Moses^ Moses=, Richard'), son of
Elisha, Sr., and Sarah (Tomlin) Newton of Shrewsbury, Mass., was bom there,
May 9, 1733, and died probably at Spencer in the early part of 1800.
He married at Shrewsbury, November 24, 1755, Persis Wheelock, daughter of
Samuel and Huldah (Rice) Wheelock* of Marlborough and Shrewsbury, Mass.
She was bom at Shrewsbury, September 19, 1732, and died after February 4,
1800, being then mentioned as living. Her sister married her husband's brother,
Timothy Newton^.
Mr. Newton lived in Shrewsbury, where the births of three children are
recorded, and no further mention of the family there. ITo may have moved to
Spencer about 1775-8, where the daughter, Azubah, was born ; and I think he
did, and that he is the person referred to in the First United States Census,
1790, as Ezekiel Newton of Spencer, head of a family which consisted of one
male above sixteen years (himself), one male below sixteen years, and two
females. This is confirmed by his will, in which he is desigitated as of Spencer.
I have not the exact date of his death, but it probably occurred sometime in
January, 1800.
The following is an abstract of his will and the papers in the case :

died.")

born at Shrewsbury, Mass. All of tlie others were born at Hubbardston, Mass.
Just when and for how long he resided in the several towns where his name
appears on the records, I do not know. His second child, Joel, was baptized in
the church at Templeton, Mass., October ,5, 1766, C. E., as the son of Timothy

was taxed there. Later his son Timothy, Jr., resided in Westminster and raised
a large family there. The History of Hubbardston has a list of the aged persons
who have gone from the town "to spend their last days and died elsewhere" —
and one is Timothy Newton, aged 81, and his wife, Lydia, aged 86.
The following is a list of the Newtons, with families, who were in Hubbardston
before 1800 : Ezekiel Newton, Timothy" of Shrewsbury, 17G6 ; Joel (s. of Tim-
othys) (married), 1793; Timothy (s. of Timothy^) (married), 1799; Jonas,
1785; Josiah (s. of Timothy), 1797; John E., 1789; Joseph of Northborough,
1777; Ebenezer (s. of Joseph) (married), 1798.
There were also men of other names in whom we are interested through their
marriage with Newtons, namely: Ezra Pond of Wrentham, 1768. His song
Levi (married), 1785; and Joseph (married), 1778; John Woods of Marlborough,
1771; and his son Edward (married), 1795; Elisha Woodward of Newton, 1774;
and his sons Daniel and Philemon, 1776.
Among the men who held the office of Selectmen of Hubbardston were Stephen
Heald, seven years; Ezra Pond, four yeai-s; William Muzzy, six years; Robert
Mui'dock, nine years; Sylvanus Dunton, five years; Asa Marean, nine years;
Ezekiel Newton, four years ; and he was also treasurer five years and assessor
one year.
Li the valuation of and tax upon property of the town of Hubbardston as taken
May 1, 1767, scale $16.-30 on $1,000, Timothy Newton was required to pay $3.75.
On the question whether the town should invite Mr. Samuel Gay to become
their pastor, August 13, 1810, Timothy Newton was one of the seven yeas, and
Ebenezer Newton one of the six nays.
The Unito<l States Census, 1790, shows Timothy Newton head of a house-
hold at Hubbardston, consisting of, besides himself, two males above sixteen
years, three males under sixteen years, and two females.

was bom at Shrewsbury, August 28, 1742, and died at Princeton, Mass., Decem-
ber 10, 1831, aged 89. G. S.
He married at — [tlie marriage probably took place at Westborough,
October 4, 1765, although the record gives it as "int." in both towns, that in
Shrewsbury being Sept. 30], to Tabitha Bouker, daughter of Josiah and ITassa-
diah (Eager) Bouker* of "Westborough, Mass., where she v^as born April 18,
1749. She died at Princeton, Mass., March 5, 1827, T. E., or March 3, 1829,
aged 80, G. S., probably the latter date.
Mr. Newton lived in Shrewsbury until after the births of five children; and
there may have been others bom elsewhere. He removed to Princeton as early
as 1803, in which year his daughter, Tabitha, was married there "at the house
of Charles Newton." He evidently lived the remainder of his life at Prince-
ton, for there he and his wife died and are buried.
The First United States Census, 1790, shows the family of Charles Newton
of Princeton to consist of himself, one male under sixteen years, and throe
females.
Charles Newton was a soldier of the Eevolution. Abstract of service: "Pri-
vate in Capt. John Maynard's Company, Col. Job Cushing's regiment, marched
August 21, 1777, discharged August 23, 1777. service six days including three
(60 miles) days travel home. Company marched to Hadley on Alarm at Ben-

of Amos, Sr., and Azubah (Newton) Newton, of Southborough, Mass., was

possibly before 1790.
He married and had seven children, who are mentioned in the will of his
father, who gives them a bequest of £50. Where they were born, or who their
mother was, is unknown to me. He seems to have lived in some town not far
away. He was not head of a household in the United States Census, 1790; for
there were only three of that name, all accounted for.
Solomon Newton is mentioned in the will of his father, but is given no por-
tion. The bequest is to "my grandehildi-en, heirs of my son Solomon," naming
them. This would indicate that Solomon had died before the dating of the
will. To these heirs is given £50.

1793. BEZALEEL NEWTON= (Amos*, Sr., Moses^ Moses^, Eichard'), son
of Amos, Sr.,and Azubah (Newton) Newton of Southborough, Mass., was born
there May 10, 1747. He died between March 15, 1798, and the time his estate
was administered in 1799. Administrator appointed April 2, 1799.
He married at Soutliborough, Mass., December 20, 1769, Molly Ward, daugh-
ter of Absalom and Mary (Wilkinson) Ward* of Soutliborough, where she was
born April 20, 1746. She married (2) at Southborough, September 18, 1800,
David Damon of Ashby, Mass.
Bezaleel Newton was a farmer and a blacksmith. He probably settled in
Ashby, where his older sister was living, soon after his marriage. None of his
children are recorded in Southborough, nor is his death recorded there, although
in the administration of his estate he is mentioned as "late of Southborough,"
as though a resident of that town.
He was a soldier of the Revolution for a short period. An abstract of service
reads: "Bezaleel Newton. Ashby. Private in Capt. Stone's company of Min-
ute-men, Col. William Prescott's regiment. Marched April 19, 1775, served 7*
days."
Bezaleel Newton was tlie head of a family in Ashby, Mass., at the taking of
the First United States Census, 1790. Besides himself, the family consisted of
one male above sixteen years, one male below sixteen years, and three females.
In the administration of the estate of Bezaleel Newton, Sr., there seems to
have been a will, as mention is made of "legacies" going to his relatives Solo-
mon Newton and Thankful Newton and Daniel Fay, "by will."
February 6, 1798, he gave a note of hand to Peter Fay. On March 15, 1793,
he gave another note to Peter Fay. This is the last date I have of him, living.
His son was appointed administrator April 2, 1799, the widow assenting. Thus
he died between those two dates.
From the account of the accrued interest on these notes, and those to and
from the minor son Amos, and the citation to the widow of Bezaleel and her
present husband, it would appear the settlement of the estate covered several
years in time.
"There is five Heirs to this estate." I suppose these children are set down in
the order of their births. Bezaleel, Jr., "the oldest heir," being in 1790 "above

16 years," was therefore born before 1774; and Amos, then "below 10 years,"
and "a minor" in 1799, was born after 1778. I suppose those children were born
at Ashby, Mass.

Mr. Newton resided in Southborough, where his eight children were born.
At date of the First United States Census, 1790, he was the head of a house-
hold there and his family, besides himself, was three males under sixteen years,
and three females.
Jabez Newton died without making a will. His estate was settled at South-
borough by administrator in 1799. Case in Probate, No. 43,222.
An abstract of the settlement of his widow's estate is here given. Their son
Ezekiel, appointed administrator, probably lived with her. The administration
o'f his (the son Ezekiel) estate also is here given. He appears to have had no
family. I suppose his real estate, "Homestead of 50 acres in Soutliborough,
$1780.00," represents the home farm of Jabez and Ehoda Newton, and was
given to the son Ezekiel during their lifetime.

NEWTON GENEALOGY
1804. EZEKIEL NEWTON=^ (Edward^, Edward^ Moses=, Richard^), son of
Edward and Elizabeth (Allen) Newton of Marlborough and Shrewsbury and
Lancaster, Mass., was born at Hopkinton, Mass., October 13, 1725, and died at
Lancaster [before Sept. 7], 1779.
He married at Lancaster, Mass., June 21, 1749, by Eev. John Mellon, "Dorothy
Osgood, Jun., of Lancaster," daughter [perhaps, of David and Eunice (Carter)
Osgood* of Lancaster, who were married there November 3, 1724]. She sur-
vived her husband and was appointed administratrix of his estate, and was liv-
ing June 5, 1780, when the last account was allowed.
Ezekiel Newton and his wife were admitted to communion in the Second Con-
gregational Church in Lancaster, Mass., September 2, 1750, at which time their
daughter Dorothy was baptized. The family appear to have lived in Shrewsbury,
where their children were bom, but to have identified themsel^'es with the town
and church at Lancaster, where all of their children were baptized, a short time
after birth, in each case. His lands probably lay in the North Province of
Shrewsbury, which was set o£E to Lancaster in 1768.
He was a farmer in Lancaster, owning his fanu of fifty-one acres. He left
no will and the estate was settled by the court as usual in such cases. A list
of the papers and abstract of administration follows. [Perhaps his widow,
Dorothy, married again, see Dorothy Newton:t footnote below.]

Persis (Whitney) Goodale§ of Marlborough, where he was born Aug. 14,
• Notice that Dorothy Osgood above is styled "Jun." There were two otliers ot the name,
Dorothy, who m. 1757, at l/uncaster, ,Iosiah Whitcomb. and Dorothy, who m. 17GG, Phineas
Wai-d. It does not follow tliiit her mother was Dorothy, since it was the custom to desig-
nate older and younger cousins as "Sen." and ".Jun." IJesides this David and Eunice Osgood
living at Lancaster, there was also .Toseph and Kathcriue (Wetherby) Osgood (m. May 12,
17i;6), and Aaron and Eunice (White) Osgood (m. May 15, 1729). Any one ot these three
couples might have been the parents ot "Dorothy Osgood, Jun." The early Lancaster records
were destroyed. . ,-, , i
t The Lincoln Genealogy, p. 41, has the following statement : Enoch Goodale ot Oakham,
Mass., married Dorothv Newton. They had a son. Enoch Goodale, Jr., born Nov. 6, 1786, at
West Boylston, Mass.. "who died in Saco, Maine, March 4, 1874; m. Lucy Lincoln, who was
born at Oakham, Mass., and died at Saco, Maine. I have thought this might be Dorothy,
widow of Ezekiel Newton^
§ Robert Good.ile. in his 31st year, embarked at Ipswich, England, with his wife, Kath-
erine in her 20tb vear, April, 1634. They brought with them three children ; they settled

Edward and Elizabeth (Allen) Newton of Marlborough, Hopkinton, Shrewsbury
and Lancaster, Mass., was born at Shrewsbury, November 5, 1727, and died at
Shrewsbury, September 28, 1756.
He married at Lancaster, Mass., by Kev. John Williams, December 18 or 19,
1751, Sarah Douglas. [Perhaps she was the Sarah Newton who married in
Shrewsbury, in 17C2, Solomon Bigelow and had there three children; Barna,
1762; Silas, 1764; Silas, 1766.]
Samuel Newton'' moved to Shrewsbury and settled. His lands were set off
to Lancaster in 1768 ; thus he died in Shrewsbury, where two children were born
to him, Samuel" and Elijah".

2200. i. Samuel", b. Aug. 2, 1752. [I am not sure of anything further in regard to this
Samuel Newton. I shall give such facts as I have gathered and what I
suppose about them. Some one may be able to explain if I am wrong. I
suppose he married at Westborough, May 25, 1783, Abigail Warren, dau.
of Thaddeus and Abigail (Whipple) Warren of Westborough, where she
w.as born Feb. 11, 1700. They probably lived in Lancaster and had chil-
dren there, then moved to Weathersfield, Vt., where the First United States
Census in 1790 found him head of a household consisting of, besides him-
self, one male above sixteen years, five males under sixteen years, and four
females. I suppose that one of his sons was
2201. 1. Samuel Ncicton'', b. about 1788; who with a young man, Mr. Felton, were
drowned in Sandy Pond in Lancaster, Mass., April 18, 1815, by the
upsetting of a canoe — Samuel was 27 years old at the time. Another
record of the event from the History of Clinton, Mass. : "Samuel
Newton, in 1815, a young man of 27, married and wife living, drowned
in the night while spearing fish." That his wife was the Miriam
Newton wlio administered on his estate, would appear from the following
abstract of administration.]

2203. ii. Eli.jah", b. March 13, 1754. [In the same fashion as with his brother
Samuel", I am sure of only the birth. I suppose he married and removed
to Weathersfield, Vt., where he was enumerated in the same Census of 1790,
his family besides himself consisting of two males under sixteen years and
two females'. One reason I think these two brothers are the men in
Weathersfield, Vt., is because it is known that their uncle, Capt. Edward
Newton, removed to that town, from Lancaster, and is enumerated at
Weathersfield, Vt., in 1790.]
The following may be the Revolutionary service of this Elijah Newton
(or of another one) : "Newton. Elijah. Ilubbardston. Private, Capt.
230 NEWTON GENEALOGY
Jonathan Sibley's Company, Col. Luke Di-ury's regiment, entered service
Aug. 9, 1781, discharged Oct. 3, 1781, service 2 m. 5 d. including 10 days
(2(10 miles) travel home. Resides in and engaged for Ilubbardston.
IJegiment raised for S Mumths. As also of the previous service, 1778 in
Capt. Marean's Co."
1812. CAPTAIN EDWARD NEWTON^ (Edward*, Edward'\ Moses^, Eich-
ardO, son of Edward and Elizabeth (Allen) Newton of Marlborough, Hopkin-
ton, Shrewsbury and Lancaster, Mass., was born at Shrewsbury, January 18 or
23, 1738, and died probably at Weathersfield, Vt, Eebruary 28, 1819.
He married at Worcester, Mass., February 7, 17C0, Sarah Winch, daughter of
David and Naomi (Gibbs) Winch* of Eramingham and Shrewsbui-y. She was
born at Eramingham, July 12, or 23, 1735, and died (probably at Weathersfield)
July 3, 1807.
He married (2) Betty , who was born June G, 1766.
Mr. Newton resided in Shrewsbui-y, Mass., until after the birth of his fourth
child. On the records there, ho is styled "Edward, Jun." at the birth of the
first three children. In 1767 the "Jun." is omitted. The inference is that his
father had died between the two dates, which was the fact. In 1768, he and his
father with their lands were set otf to Lancaster, where his remaining children
wei'e bom.
The Eecords of the Second or West Precinct Church at Lancaster open with the
usual covenant. Among the eighteen subscribers is the name of Edward Newton.
April 27, 1700, he is dismissed and recommended to the Second Church at Shrews-
bury.
Capt. Edward Newton was an officer in the Kevolutionary Army. His service
covered the entire period of that war. An abstract of service follows : "Newton.
Edward. Lancaster. Ensign, Capt. Samuel Robinson's Company of Militia, Col.
Asa Whitcomb's regt., marched on alarm April 19, 1775 to Cambridge, returned
May 1, 1775, served 14 days. . . . also Eirst Lieut, Capt. Fortunatus Eager's
(7th) Co., Col. Josiah Whitney's (2nd Worcester County) regt. of Mass. Militia;
list of officers to be Commissioned as returned by Lieut. Col. Ephraim Sawyer
and Major Silas Bailey, dated Lancaster, March 18, 1776. . . . Reported Com-
missioned March 20, 1776; also. Eirst Lieut., Capt. Solomon Stuarts Company,
Col. Josiah Whitney's Regt. ; . . . other services — Bennington, Northern Army,
act.; also. Captain of Seventh Company, Col. Whitney's regt. (2nd Worcester
County) Mass. Militia, Commissioned April 12, 1780." [From Mass. Soldiers
and Sailors of the Revolutionary War.]
The Massachusetts Archives, Vol. 13, page 77, contain the Revolutionary
services of Capt. Edward Newton.
After the war was over, the family are quite sure that Capt. Edward Newton
lived in Weathersfield, Vt. The First United States Census, 1790, gives his
family there as consisting of two males above sixteen years, two males below
sixteen years, and three females. Edward Newton was one of a "Committee of
six to supply the families of those who are gone to the Continental Army." The
town so voted October 26, 1778. [Military Annals of Lancaster.]

Jonathan, Jr., and Tabitha ( ) iSTewton of SotithUorough, Mass., was born
there July 29, 1740, and died there October 10, 1803.
He married at Southboroug'h, January 8, 1700, Elizabeth Hager. Who she
was is unknow'u to me.
Mr. Newton was a fanner in Southborough — his lands being in the northern
part of tlie town; he seems to have obtained by purchase at various times from
different people, as the deeds show. This property remained in the possession
of his descendants until 1890, when it was purchased by the Boston Water
Board, to become a part of its great reservoir.
Before his death he executed a deed giving all of his real estate to his son
Caleb ; but tlie deed was not registered until after his death.
He was a soldier of the Revolution — a niinuteman on the first alarm. An
abstract of his service is here given : "Ezra Newton. Southborough. Corporal
in Capt. Elijah Bellows' Company, marched on Alarm April 19, 1775, to Lex-
ington, served 15 days. Also. In Capt. Seth Newton's Company, Col. Whitney's
regiment, enlisted August 21, 1777, discharged August 26, or 27, 1777, served
six days on Alarm at Bennington, Vt. ; Company proceeded from Southborough
to Hadley on horses; by order of the Brigadier; horse and milage (SO miles)
allowed home."
His children were born in Southborough. He was head of a household there
according to the First United States Census, 1790. The other members of it
were one male above sixteen years and two females.
Some ancient deeds in possession of Mrs. Sophia Newton, widow of Lincoln,
are described by Mrs. E. C. Temple :
"Deed given by Abraham Amsden and nannah his wife the 26 day of August,
1769, to Ezra Newton of Southborough, Mass., conveys 40 acres, one of the bounds
being stake and stone at Castle Hill [Elijah Bellows' land]. Price, £105. 9s. 4d.

son of Jonathan, Jr., and Tabitha ( — ) Newton of Southborough, Mass.,
was bom there, October 13, 1743, and died there November 24, 1816, aged 73
years. C. R.
He married at Southborough, January 3, 1805 [T. R.], Relief Newton, daugh-
ter of Silas^ and Lovina'^ (Newton) Newton of Southborough, where she was born
May 22, 1783. After the death of Mr. Newton she married in succession, Wil-
liam Annetts of Framingham, Josiah Lawrence of Lancaster, and "James Mal-
lard, who survived her." [See her number, 2321.] Her three children were born
at Southborough.
Elijah Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. I suppose the following to be
an abstract of his service : "Elijah Newton, Sergeant, Capt. Adam Llenry's Com-
pany of Guards. Engaged Jan. 7, 1779; discharged April 6 (also 1) 1779; Com-
pany detached from militia to guard troops of Convention at Rutland for three
montJis from Jan. 1, 1779. Also. Elijah Newton, Spencer, in Cai)t. Jonathan
Carriel's Co., Col. Josiah Whitney's regt." ,
At date of the First United States Census, 1790, Elijah Newton was head of
a family consisting of himself and two females in Southborough. The females
may have been his widowed mother and a sister.

1828. KEUBEN NEWTON^ (Jonathan-*. Jonathan"', Moses=, Kicharcr), son
of Jonathan, Jr., and Tabitha ( ) Newton of Southborough, Mass., was
born there April 10, 1747, and died there September 13, 1827, aged 80. C. K.
He married at Southborough, June 24, 1784, Sarah Brewer, daughter of Peter
and Elizabeth (Pratt) Brewer* of Southborough, where she was born December
18, 17C0. I suppose the mention, "Sarah Newton, Nov. 9, 1837," at Southbor-
ough, to be a record of her death. She was living in 1832. See will below.
Mr. Newton resided in Southborough. His children were born there. The
First United States Census, 1790, shows Eoubcn Newton at Southborough, Iiead
of a family, which besides himself consisted of two males under sixteen years,
and two females. He was a soldier of the Revolution. Abstract of service
reads: "Reuben Newton. Southboro. Private, Capt. Elijah Bellows Company,
marched April 19, 1775, served 16 days. Also in Capt. Seth Newton's Company,
Col. Whitney's regiment, engaged Aug. 26, (27) 1777. Six days service on Alarm
at Bennington. Company on horses from Southboro to Hadley." Other service.
His estate was administered without a will, in 1827, at Southborough. Case
in Probate Court, No. 43,375.

not satisfied with the division and desired a re-hearing.

of David, Sr., and Sarah (Pike) Newton of Southborough, Mass., was born there
August 29, 1751, and died .
lie married at Southborough, February 7, 1775, Abigail Stone, daughter of
Jonatlian and Judith (Newton) Stone of Southborough, where she was born
June 5, 1743. She died .
David Newton, Jr., married (2) at Southborough, December 7, 1779, Elizabeth
Newton (1857), daughter of Gideon and Hannah (Lawrence) Newton of South-
borougli, wliere slie was born April 17, 1755, his cousin. The church record at
Southborough has the death of " , wife of David Newton, Juno 5, 1793."
No tow-n record of the deatli.
David Newton, Jr., lived in Southborough until after 1788. Six children were
bom there. Later he moved to Spencer, Mass. The town record there has the
birth of "Nabby, dau. of David and Elizabeth Newton, born May 30, 1794."
It seems to me there is an error in the record, either of the year of birth of the
child, or year of death of the mother. The cliild might have been born in
Spencer; the mother have died tliere the following month, and her body taken
to Southborough for burial; and the church there have tho only record of the
death. The First United States Census, 1790, gives David Newton head of a
family at Spencer, whicli consists of himself, three males below sixteen years,
and three females.
David Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. His name appears on the rolls
as follows and is the only soldier given bearing that name in Massachusetts:
"David Newton. Private in Oapt. Thomas Whipple's Company of Guards,
enlisted April 20, 1780, discharged Dec. 20, 1780, stationed at Rutland. Also.
David Newton, in Capt, Timothy Ruggles' company of Guards, enlisted Jan-_
uary 24, 1781, discharged December 26, 1781, service at Rutland."

ing tlio years 1789-1794, the population of Marlborough, N. H., increased so'
rapidly by the arrival of new settlers that it became necessary to redistrict the
town. At a meeting, April 21, 1794, a conunittee of nine men were chosen for
that puriDose, one of whom was Gideon Newton. Ilis property fell into No. East
District, now known as School District No. 1 — the largest in the town, contain-
ing forty-two families.
Between the dates 1789 and 1794 he was living at Dublin. N. II. [A town
a few miles East of Marlborough, N. IT.], where at the taking of the First United
States Census, 1790, he was head of a family consisting of himself, one male
below sixteen years, and two females.

Sudbury, Framingham and Southborough.
Deacon Josiah Newton lived in Southborough. His children were born there.
The record of his family is also given in the published records of the town of
Ilopkinton, where he may have resided more or less. The First United States
Census, 1790, gives Josiah Newton at Southborough. head of a family which
besides himself consisted of one male under sixteen years and three females.
Although so young at the time, Josiah Newton was a soldier of the Kevolution.
The Revolutionary rolls show the following service: "Josiah Newton. South-
borough. Private in Capt. Moses Harrington's Company. Col. Dike's regiment,
enlisted December 20, 1770." Then there are other terms of enlistment, to serve
at or about Boston until January 1, 1779, or unless sooner discharged.^
Another service which I think was performed by this man was: '"Josiah New-
ton. Private in Capt. Daniel (J rout's Company, Col. Enoch Hallet's regiment,
enlisted August 9, 17Sn. discharged October 30, 1780."
The estate of Deacon Josiah Newton was administered 1822, at Southborough,
without a will. Case in Probate Court, No. 4:3,205.
Josiah Newton was head of a household in Southborough as shown in the First
T'nited States Census, 1790. The other members of it were one male under
sixteen years and three females.
James Rice (son of Lot Rice by his first marriage) married Eleanor Newton.
Their daughter writes: "Elizabeth (Haynes) Newton marriefl my grandfather.
Lot Rice. She was the widow of Dea. Josiah Newton. Her children were all mar-
ried and settled in life, as were his, before their marriage. They owned a small
farm in the southerly part of Southborough about three miles from us. When
grandfather became too infirm to live alone, father persuaded them to spend a
winter witii us. They came, and grandfather died with us, on March 27, 1848.
His wife went to live in Ashland or Hopkinton with her daughter. She had
some Indian blood in her veins. She was of stalwart proportions; straight as
an arrow when past 80 years. Slie was a very smart, active, intelligent. Christian
woman. I remember licr well." "Her children were a remarkably callable and
intelligent people."
I do not know about the "Indian blood," and d.iubt the statement. Her
pedigree is given below.

The following is from a letter written by the Rev. W. II. Watson of
Fayville. Mass., a retired Baptist clergyman, who had been associated with
I'rof. Calvin Newton for five years: "Calvin Newton. A.M., JI.D.. was
one of the most distinguished and lionorable sons of Sonthborongh. lb'
was a stalwai't man physically and iutelli'ctnally ; was most kind and
generous. loving and lovable. lie was a graduate of Cniou Collegi'.

and Hebrew in Waterville College (now CoUiy). Maine. After remaining
there five years, he was elected I'resident, anil one of the I'rofessors in
the Theological Institute at Thomaston, Maine, .\fter four years service
there, he returned to Massachusetts and became pastor of the Baptist
Church in <4raftou, where he remained three years. Declining healtli
induced him to enter the medi<'al profession and he was graduated from the
Berkshire Medical College. Later in life he practiced this profession at
Worcester as a specialist in the Eclectic School. He was author of ipiite
a valuable medical work. lie was mucli loved and honored by his fellow-
citizens. At one time he was a member of the Board of Aldermen of
Worcester. He died in that city at the age of 5:!. of typhoid fcvcu-. In

One year i^rior to the Revolution, Paul Newton went to live in Marlborough,
Mass., where he joined a company of minutemen. On the a<lvance of the British ■
from Boston toward Lexington, on the 19th of April, 1775, he turned out with
his company and followed them on their retreat to Boston. In this service he
is credited with seven days' service on the Revolutionary Roll : "Paid Newtcm.
Marlborough. Private. Capt. Daniel Barnes' Coniimny." In lidstdu he regularly
enlisted for eiglit months, on April 2(>, 1775, wilh ('a])t. Dnnicl liarnos, Col.
Jonathan Ward's regiment,* and was discharged in December, 1775. During this
period his name appears on rolls dated August 1, 1775; service rolls of thirteen
weeks si.x days ; comjiany returns, etc.
It is further recorded that very soon after his <lischarg(> in Dcceudicr, 1775, he
reenlisted in the same company and regiment, with the same officers, for the term
of twelve months, contininng at the siege of Boston until that city was evacu-
ated, when his regiment was ordered to New York City; and from there retreated
with the Army to White Plains, where he was discharged DiM'ember, 1776. The
battle of White Plains occurred October 28, 177t'>. In passing through his homo
town from Boston to New York, when beginning the year's enlistment (Decem-
ber, 1775, to December, 1776), he improved the chance to marry at Southborough,
January 23, 1776, the lady to whom he was engaged. While in the army he
never was engaged with the company in battle; his service being a detail to the
Commissary Department. For this service as a soldier of the Revolution, the
United States gave Mr. Newton a pension. His name appears on the rolls in
that office: "Paul Newton. Private. State troops. Annual allowance $66.66, sum
received $199.98, placed on pension roll November 29, 1S:!2, pension to com-
mence March 4, 1831. Pensioned again. Act of June 7. 1832. Age, 82." His
daughter writes, December 26, 1832, to my father : "We received last week.
Father's pension bill from Washington. He is entitled to receive 66.66 per
annum, payable semi-annually, viz., the 4tli of March and the 4th of Sept.
He is cut short some in the amount on account of his being in the Conunissary
store. The money is to be paid from the U. S. Bank at Bost(]n."
In February, 1777, Mr. Newton was engaged in some civil employment at
Springfield, Mass., ivith a Mr. Church — his particular duties are not mentioned.
He continued in this service for some sixteen months; but wdiether lie remained
at Springfield during the whole period is unknown. — The above accoiuit of Paul
Newton is largel.y what was sent to me from the IT. S. Pension Office. Hence
it is in great measure his ovm statement as to what occurred in his life up to
this date. We, as a famil.y, have always understood that his service in the
army, and in affairs in its interest, covered the whole period of the war — seven
years — intermittent of course, as all the pvddic service then was. While his
ranlv was alwa.ys a ])rivate, yet his general knowledge was considered to be of
greater service in the management of affairs than in the ranks.
After the war, Mr. Newton returned to Southborough, where he continued to
reside until he was about forty years old, when he removed with his family to
North Leverett — "Feb. — , 1793" is the date of his removal given in the South-
borough records. Be that as it may, the First United States Census, 1790, shows
* Till- n^jiimont of Col. .Tonatlian Wai-d was raised out of the County of Worcester : went
to BoKtnii soon as news came of the battle at Lesinston. and was at tlio battle of Btmlver

this Paul Xewton to have been head of a family at Amherst, Hampshire County.
Mass., the other members being three males under sixteen years and three females.
The explanation would be that he did not take his family directly from South-
borough to Xorth Leverett, but stopped awhile at Amherst, while he and his sons
should go forward and erect the house, get the land in shape and the home
ready before the younger ones came on. His daughter writes that Paul Newton
"never owned a place until he bought in Leverett, but after his marriage lived
in the south part of the town (Southborough) in a 'garrison house.'" [I sup-
pose this to be the old "Garrison" of Jonathan Newton^.]
North Leverett is not an ideal farming country, hilly, soil poor, no large manu-
facturing establishments, small village of some twenty houses. Here Mr. New-
ton bought a fann of eighty acres, built a small house and somehow supported
his family.
The children grew to bo W(n-tliy men and women, as they all helped, each in
the most effective way, for the best good of the whole. All of the old letters
that have been preserved show this to have been a united, affectionate, Christian
family.
"In person. Paul Newton was below the average height ; rather slim of build,
and in old age much bent over — the result of hard labor. He was neat in his
habits; saving and orderly ; honest and upright in his dealings; not much given
to talk a great deal — and especially upon the subject of religion. He was a
member in good standing of the Baptist Church. In his last years he was nearly
blind."
Of Mrs. Newton we are told: "She was physically a noble woman; in build
rather above the usual height, well proportioned ; active and energetic. She was
a pious woman, and took pains to instruct her children in religion. She was

their daughter Lovina (who in her maidenhood had been a school teacher) and
her husband remained with them on the farm until their change came. Their
deaths occurred only three days apart, the illness of each being "an intlamatory
fever." The funeral services were conducted by their pastor. Rev Mr. Jones,
March 3, 1837. The caskets were placed in a tomb, and later buried in one grave
in a small graveyard "west of the old Meeting-house" in North Leverett, together
with the infant son of their daughter, Mrs. Montague. The grave is marked
with a black-slate head stone, on which is the following inscription:

Tlie.v lived on his farm in the eastern part of Montague until his death,
when she returned to her father's house for a time — "she seemed to be
the house-keeper." Then she lived with her sister Kleanor, wife of .rames
nice, who had a woolen factorj' in SonlhlKuough, and she worked in it
for him. In 183.5, she was "with a Miss .Tackson. as companion." Of their
".\unt I'att.v." one of her nieces e.\claims: "She wa.s just too good to

constituent membei-s of the Kaptist Church in Southborough, of which he
was for man.v years a deacon. Tlieir house became known as the
"Minister's Tavern," so conveniently situated as a stopping place was
it on tlie road from Boston to Worcester. In business he was a woolen
manufacturer, on a small scale: owning a water privilege on Ston.v Brook
in the eastern part of Southborough. His sign read "Woolcarder and
Clothier." Here lie carded wool, and colored yarn ; made flannel and
homespun for all the region round. "He lx>gan with nothing, reared his
family and left .$.3000 — having given away more than he left." Their
daughter writes thus of Mrs. Itice ; "Jlother was resolute, indejiendent.
executive; rather blunt in speech. She was truly a helpmeet to father:
industrious, economical, but also benevolent; tired, sometimes impatient;
but always looking well to the good of her household. Tveepiug boarders —

he never wholly recovered, and later other disbarments to an active life,
but not until age, too, had jiiit an end to much energy. Of Jlrs.
Temple it is diflicult to adequately speak — so much there is that ou.ght
to Im" said. Being physically too lieav.v (2.50 lbs. 1 for personal com-
fort or. to ipiote her view of it; "fastened too securely to terra-firma
lo 1h> (|iiite contented, yet thankful I am not entirely u.seless," she
has done much to make more comfortable and happy the lives of many
people. Possessing a niiud well informed, ilear. concise, sprightly and
merry, and with the kindest of hearts, she could not fail to do good.
She resembled her mother, too, in some of her characteristics. She
came with her husband to the home of his parents in their declining
years. The mother, aged .87 at death, had not walked for nine years^-
broken hip. Tlie father with sore legs, just able to move about with the
aid of two can(>s, survived his wife ten months. Her sister Eliza, help-
less through paralysis, was cared for by Mrs. Temple for sixteen .vears.
Then her own father came to visit and did not want lo leave her,
so they made a place for liini — he had curvature of the spine — and he
contiuueil with her to the end. Of all this she writes: "I can never be
sutlicieiitly thankful that (Jod. in his jirovidence, brought him to me to
care for in his last days: with my hands full of feeble folk I could not
have gone to him." Having no children of their own, Mr. and Mrs.
Temple adopted three, whom they brought uj). Speaking of her life
and work of love, Mrs. Temple sa.vs, "I had the privilege." Both were
active and ardent mpinber.s of the Baptist Church — Christian people.

Silas Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. On the Kolls his name appears
in the following services : "Silas Newton. Southborough. Private in Capt. Elijah
Bellows' t.onipany, which marched on the Alarm April 19, 177.5, service sixteen
days. Also, Silas Newton. Private in Capt. Silas Gates Company, Dec. 1775

not copy, the last being dated at Dorchester).
Silas Newton did not marry nntil the war was over, when he came back to
Southborongh and settled. His children were all born there. The First United
States Census, 1700, shows Silas Newton head of a family at Southborough. con-
sisting of himself and four females.
He married at Southborough, August 15, 1782. Lovina Newton (20.'5S), daugh-

254 NEWTON GENEALOGY
She had five children by this marriage. Slie married (2) in Southborough,
July 11, 1802, Joel Brewer," Rr., by whom she had two children. He was a
widower with eight children, his first wife being Lovisa Newton, a sister of
Nathan Newton^, Jr., both of whom had died within less than a year and a
half of each other. For children by this first wife see under the heading of
her father, Nathan Newton*. Tlie children of Joel and Polly Brewer were:
PoUi/. born February 27, 1803, married November 25, 182.1, I<Ilijah D. Whipple
(they had a son Adolpbus Perley Whipi)le, bom February 27, 18::!.j) ; JJavid, born
.March l(i, 180G; married (int. November 29, 1831) Polly B. Howe of .Marl-
borough, and had a second and a third wife, I am told.
Mrs. Polly (Nichols-Newton) Brewer must have been a remarkable woman.
Many characteristic anecdotes are told by her descendants of her mild and gentle
way of reproving, and the sidelights they cast on her manner of managing three
sets of children in the Brewer household — and a not always pleasant husband
there.
She was a very small woman. Her son Martin was rather short in stature —
lirobably not over five feet, five or six inches — but when he held his arm out
horizontally, she could stand upright under it without touching. Her young
granddaughters thought it no hardship when they might carry her in their arms.
She was dearly beloved by all her family, ifr. Brewer died before she did, but
the record of his death I luive not obtained.
Nathan Newton, Jr., lived all his life in Southborough, Mass., and died there,
according to the family records and all family knowledge of him; yet the town
records do not show his death nor the births of his children, who were born
tliere.
The First United States Census, 1790, has: "Nathan Newton, Jr., head of a
household in Southborough, that consists of two males [one is himself] above
si.xteen years, one male below sixteen years and two females."
Ijike his brother Paul, Nathan Newton, Jr., was a soldier of the Revolution.
An abstract of his service is: "Newton. Nathan, Private in Cai)t. Moses Har-
rington's Company, Col. Dike's regiment, muster roll Dec — , 1776, to Feb.,

1882. LUKE NEWTON" (Elnathan-», .Toiiathaii\ iroses=, Richard'), son of
Elnathan and Jemima (Joslin) Newton of Southborou.ah, Holden, Oakliniii and
New Braintree, Mass., and Marlborough, N. 11. , was horn Novomher 0, IT')').
He died at Marlborough, N. 11., July 22, 1839.
He married at Southboroug-h, Mass., Novemlier 21. 1782, Sally Hayden. daugh-
ter of Thomas and Mary (Ball) ITnyden* of Sudbury, Mass., where she was
born March 28, 1758. She died at Jlarlborough, N. H., November 8. 1820.
Luke Newton is mentioned as the eldest son of Elnathan and Jemima and
was born November (5, 1755. tie is supposed to be the same as Zeneth. born the
same date [or he nuiy have been twin with Zeneth]. However that may he. the
name Zeneth disappears, and the boy, Luke Newton from Braititret", Mass..
was "warned out" from Southborough, August 10, 1703. He may have been
visiting his grandfather and the zealous officers thouglit he staid too long.
I find him next, a young man of less than twenty, as a soldier of the lunolti-
tion. An abstract of service: "Newton. Luke. Southborough. Private in Ca])-
tain Elijah Bellows' Company, marched April 19. 1775. served 10 days. Also,
in Capt. Seth Newton's Company, Col. Whitney's regiment, engaged August 21,
1777, discharged August 20, 1777, alarm at Bennington, proceeded on horses."
Luke Newton apparently staid in the vicinity of Southborough for a niiiii-
ber of .years, long enough to become ;ic(|uaiiited witli the girl of Suilluiry he
was to marry in 1782.
Whether he went with liis father in 1771 to ^Marlborough, N. H., and returned,
does not appear. But he was there witli his wife soon after marriage and their
children were born there.
His father, Eluatlian Newton, had settled on a farm in the southeastern iiart
of Marlborough, N. II.. tinil Luke resided witli him and was joint owner of the
propert.y, and came into full iiossession. on the death of his father. This land
was in District No. 0. "The East School S(|iiadron." tincl then contained ten
other families.
In 1800 the school had been kept in the house of Timothy Bemis, who received
four shillings per week for the use of his house. This price was considered too
dear. The following year the schools were kept at the house of Luke Newton,
who charged thirty-three cents per week. This house was 20 x 24 feet, 10 foot
posts, surmounted by a square roof, and attained great age.
The name of Luke Newton does not appear in the First United States Census,
1790, as head of a household or in any other way. It seems queer, when
Elnathan, Luke and Luke, Jr., were all three living on and owning the home-
stead at Marlborough, N. H., at that date.

He married Sarab Merrett, dangliter of William.
Mr. Newton "held bis father's estate" in Framingham. as I umlerstand it,
together with the forge and gristmill on Hopkinton river near the Sontbborougb

1891. JAIVCES NEWTON^ (Andrew-', Janles^ Moses=, Kicliardi), son of
Andrew and Mchitabel (Bellows) Newton of Southborough and Framingliam,
Mass., was born at Southboi-ouf;'h, August 24, 1751, and died Febrtiary 23, 1S24,
probably at Trii.xton, Cortland Co., N. Y.
He married at Ilopkinton, Mass., November 15, 1700, Batlislieba Nurse, daugh-
ter of Joseph and Sarah (Walkup) Nurse:]: of Hopkinton, where she was born
November 9, 1752. She had nine children.
He married (2) Rachel Greeley, who was born April 22, 1705, and died, possibly
in Medina County, Ohio, September 24, 1841. One child.
James Newton was "of Framingham" at date of his marriage, and before
that his name appears -^vith his father's family in the history of that town.
As a soldier of the Revolution, he was enrolled as of Framingham. There are
no births nor deaths of this family in Framingham nor in Flopkinton ; but the
five children given below vpere all baptized in Christ Church at Hopkinton. There
was no James Newton head of a family in Massachusetts at the taking of the
First United States Census, 1790. After the war he went to Putne.y, Windham
County, Vt., and is the James Newton there, head of a household that consists
in all of two males above sixteen years, three males under sixteen years, and five
females.
In 1775, as a man skillful in working in metals, he was given a position in
the shipbuilding yards at Plymouth ; later at Salem, and after the evacuation
of Boston by the British, in that city. It will be remembered that his father had
a forge in Framingham.
An abstract of his service in the Revolutionary War: "James Newton.

When this James Newton was in "'Deertield River Valley, Mass.," as stated,
seems not clear to his family. They think some of his ehildren were horn there
and the others at Putney, Yt. Ahout ISOO he moved with his family to Westward,
Otsego County. X. Y. — twelve miles east of Cooperstown. About 1820 he
removed to Truxton, X. Y.. and probably died there, because of this fact: In
1822 he gave his property into the hands of his son, Elijah, who gave bonds to
his father for the support of James and his wife, Rachel, until death. The
father died in 1824 and Elijah did not leave Truxton, N. Y. until 1830.

1899. JOSIAH NEWTON^ (JosepliS James=, Moses=, EichardO, son of
Joseph and Experience (Drury) Xewton of Southborougli, Templeton and Hub-
bardston. Mass., was born at Southborough, August 22. 1766, and died at Heath,
Mass., December 2, 1817, aged 51 years.
He married at Templeton, May 26, 1796, Phebe Wiley, daughter of Moses and
Phebe (Fitts) Wiley* of Templeton, Mass., where she was baptized October 13,

Mr. Newton was a farmer. Born in Southborough, he went with his parents
to Hubbardston, Mass., where he continued to reside for a time after his marriage.
His first three children were born there. Then he appears in Phillipston, Mass.,
where his sons Levi and Dan were born. In the latter part of 1806 he removed
to Heath, Mass., where his three youngest children were born, and where he and
his wife died and are buried.
At date of his death, his youngest child was a little over two years old. His
widow, left with a family of young children, must have been a strong, energetic
woman, not lacking in executive ability, for she cared for theni well. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Newton were Congregationalists, and strong in the faith. Their chil-
dren and grandchildren, while not attaining political honors, have been self-
respecting, upright. God-fearing men and women, engaged, with good abilities,
in a variety of useful occupations.

he later disposed of and went into the machinist and iron-foundry business,
which in 1907 was carried on by his son Leander S. The village where
the shops are situated is named Heald village. Through softening of the
brain Mr. Heald was insane by stndls for six years before his death.

born in Westborough, September 22, 1748, and died in Nortliborough, February
16, 1778, aged 29.
The estate of Alvan Newton was administered without a will at Northborougli
in 1778. Case in Probate, No. 43,037.
Alvan Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. lie died before the end of the
war. The following is an abstract of his service : "Alvin Newton. Northboro.
Corporal in Capt. Samuel Wood's Company of Minute-men, Gen. Ward's regi-
ment, marched April 19, 1775, served 22 days. Also. Sergeant of Lieut. Scth
Rice's Company, Col. Job Cushing's regiment. Enlisted August 21, 1777, served
7 days including 3 days (65 miles) travel home, Company to assist Northern
Army and discharged at Hadley."
Mr. Newton resided in Northborougli, where his cliildren were born. He mar-
ried (intention in Weston, Mass.. November 9, 1771) Rebecca Rice of Weston.
Mrs. Rebecca Newton's youngest child was bom after she had been a widow
for nearly five months with four other very young ones dependent on her care.
We do not know what her circumstances were. The family have only the knowl-
edge that she married again — a Mr. Goodenough, who made the after life of the
family of children very miserable. This name Goodenough is spelled also Good-
enow and Goodnow and Goodno — almost any way the town clerk pleased.
Thomas Goodnow, and wf. Jane, were in Sudbury in 1639; had children there.
They had many descendants in the towns of Marlborough-Southborough-West-
borough, and Northborougli, and others. I find no marriage of a Rebecca New-
ton to a Goodnow, Goodenough; but in Northborougli appears the baptism of
"Lewis Goodnow, son of Eli and Rebeeeah, April 14, 1782." This Eli Goodnow^
was born in Westborough, January 28, 1751, son of Thomas* and Persis (Rice),
son of SamueP, Jr., and Sarah; son of Samuel- and Mary; son of Thomas^ and
Jane Goodenow. I find nothing further of either Eli or Rebecca.

RRAXCII OF MOSIOS 0(;5
Paul Newton received from the United States Governineiit a pension of $96.00
yearly. The whole amount that he received was $174.40. The Pension Office
states that he was a private in the Massachusetts Continental line; that the pen-
sion was applietl for May 18, 1818, on an Act of March 18, 1818; was granted
September 17, 1819, and that the pension was suspended Act of May 1, 1820.
All of which would indicate that he was living as late as 1820.
The First United States Census, 1790, states the family of Paul Newton of
Northborough, Mass., consists of himself, three males under sixteen years old,
and four females.

Deacon Paul and Mary (Farrar) Newton of Westborough-Northborough, Mass.,
was born in Westborough, November 13, 1759, and died in Marlborough, Vt.,
April 8, 1847, aged 87 years.
He married, probably in Berlin, October 25, 1785, Abigail Sawyer, daughter
of William, Jr., and Hannah (Barrett) Sawyer* of Bolton and Berlin, Mass.,
born in Bolton, May 5, 1765, and died in Berlin, Mass., December 26, 1852, aged
87 years.
Cotton Newton, like his three older brothers, was a soldier of tlie Itevolution.
The following is an abstract of his service: "Private, Capt. Edmund Brigham's
Company, Col. Job Cushing's regiment, enlisted September 12, 1777, discharged
November 29, 1777, served 2 mo. 18 d. with Northern Army. Also, (to west-
ward) company marched from Grafton. Also, Capt. Ephraim Lyon's Company,
engaged Juno 20, 1778, discharged July 13, 1778, served 26 days — Company
joined Col. Wade's regiment June 22, 1778, for 21 days, served at Rhode Island,
roll dated at Grafton. Also. Account for wages dated Westborough, July 21,
1778, from record belonging to Capt. Brigham's Company, 3 months service."
His grandson takes much satisfaction in stating that Cotton Newton was
present at the surrender of General Burgoyne in 1777, and that he heard the
impetuous message which General Gates sent to the British commander: "If you
don't surrender in fifteen minutes, I'll make your lines hot as ■ — ."
After the war was over, Mr. Newton married and settled just over the line
of Berlin, in Northborough. He seems, however, to have been identified with
Berlin. Their three children are said to have been born in Berlin. They are
not recorded in Northborough. The First United States Census, 1790, shows
Cotton Newton at Berlin, his family consisting of himself, one male under six-
teen years, and two females. October 9, 1798, he removed with his family to
Marlborough, Vt., arriving there on October 14, 1798. His descendants say he
died there.
•William Sawyer, Jr. (William), was, I suppose, son o£ William and Sarah (SawtelU
Sawyer of Bolton, where he was horn 1749 : married there .Tan. l.S. 1764. Hannah Barrftt.
and had seven children. The eldest was Abifjail, b. 17G5. There are many families and
generations of Sawyers in Bolton. They probahly are descendants of Thomas Sawyer of
Lancaster in 1647, who came to Marlborough ; wife Mary, six sons and several daughters.

Silas and Mercy (Freeman) Newton of Hardwiek, Mass., was born there Feb-
ruary 16, 1750-1, and died there October 22, 1837, aged 86. There was no pro-
bate settlement of his estate.
He married in Ilardwick, Mass., June 12, 1777, Chloe Hitchcock, daughter of

Mr. Newton was a fanner in Ilardwick, on the supposed farm and home-
stead of his father. The record of his children is imperfect. No birth dates
of them appear in Hardwick. The names of some of them have been gathered
from various sources. The name of Lemuel Newton as the head of a household
in Massachusetts does not appear in the Uniteil States Census of 1790.

Thonins Freeman, whose daughter John Newton subsequently married, was the
first settler in Barnard, Vt. The deed of his lands bears the date June 7, 1775.
The winter previous, lie witli John Newton and Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim Briggs,
spent the winter there, they being the first white people to winter in Barnard,
Vt. '"Freeman was so proud of the fact that he had inscribed on his tombstone,
'the first to withstand the inclemency of a Vermont winter.' " Mrs. Briggs was
lihoda, daugliter of Asa W^iitcomb.
John Newton, the eldest, was also the first of his father's children to emi-
grate to Barnard, Vt. ; and afterward came two of his brothers and two sisters.
These last-mentioned settled in a little colony on Locus Creek, with farms
adjoining or near each other. John Newton's lands were four miles away from
them to the eastward, about half way between what are now the villages of
Barnard and East Barnard, in what was called the "Cox Neighborhood," the
oldest part of the town, where lived Capt. Benjamin Cox and the Freemans — all
forceful men, but the "Capt." took rank, of course. From this time forward
these men were identified with Vermont and not with Massachusetts. I can
find nothing to show that this John Newton ever was identified with the old
home place of his ancestors — Southborough, Mass.
The first town meeting at Barnard, Vt., was held January 1(), 1770. The
second town meeting was held March 20, 1770, when John Newton was elected
one of the surveyors of highways.
As a pioneer settler, it is apparent that Mr. Newton possessed the qualities, as
a man and a citizen, of a good colonist. He erected good buildings on his fann — -
the same ones repaired and made over are still standing. A grandson of Capt.
Benjamin Cox, I am told, "used to say that John Newton was a man of rare
good sense and judgment, and tliat his advice was often sought in difficult
cases." He also states : "My grandfather bought part of his farm of John
Newton. He had settled too far away to satisfy Jolm. John offered him forty
acres if he would move u]) where he could see the fall of his trees and look
at him every morning. That forty acres was the best part of the Cox farm,
better than John kept for himself. The land was paid for after many years by
grandfather Cox, £30.
"John Newton owned the locally-famous bear trap that was passed round the
neighborhood for years, and had 'done for' many a bruin, besides the one whose
hopes he shattered by a blow on the head with a flail."
When the Congregational Church at Barnard, Vt., was formally organized,
April 20, 1S02, tlie articles of agreement were signed by John Newton and his
brother-in-law, Thonuis Martin Wright. This church was disbanded in 1859.
John Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. His name ai)pears on the
Vermont Revolutionary Rolls as follows, and he is said "to have a long record
as a soldier in Mass., before coming to Vermont," which statement is not con-
firmed, and since the war did not begin until the Alarm of April 10, 1775, could
not very well be. [Notice his itinerary above.]

He married at Hardwick, Mass., March 4, 1779, Abigail Earle (called "Nabby"),
daughter of David and Martha (Earle) Earle* of Leicester, Worcester and Hard-
wick, Mass. She was born at Worcester, December 29, 1759, and died at Bar-
nard, Vt, October 24, 1850. Mrs. Newton was a forceful, resourceful woman,
and the mother of nine children. Both Mr. and ilrs. Newton were earnest and
faithful members of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Barnard, Vt., from its
organization in the town until their deaths : and all of their adult children
became church members. All of their children, except the first, were born at
Barnard, Vt. Mrs. Newton survived her husband, who provided liberally for her
by his will. She also received his war pension. Her application for it was
allowed by the United States and executed November 7, 1838.

ton, and served several enlistments during the War of the Revolution. In his
old age he received a pension from the Government in recognition of his services.
His application for pension was allowed August 9. 1832. The following record
of service is to he found in the Pension Office, Washington. D. C, and was
probahly made out by Timothy Newton, Jr., himself, from memory:

1778. 17 days. Private, Lieut. Beriah Greene's Comjjauy, Col. Marsh.
The last service of 17 days was in Baniard, Vt. All the previous service was
performed in Massachusetts. He was credited to Hardwick. The following
abstract of service is from "Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary
War," which is compiled from the Revolutionary rolls extant. It corresponds to
his remembrance, and more in detail :
"Timothy Newton. Hardwick. Private in Capt. Samuel Billings' Company,
Col. Eben Learned's Regiment; muster-roll dated August 1, 1775; Enlisted May
4, 1775, service 3 mo. 4 d. : Also, Company return dated October 7, 1775. Also:
"Timotliy Newton, in Capt. Echnund Hodge's Company, Col. Job Cushing's
regiment; enlisted Jvdy 27, 1777, discharged August 29, 1777, service 1 mo. 7(1.
at the Northward including 4 d. (85 miles) travel home. Also:
"Timothy Newton, in Capt. John Crawford's Company, Col. Job Cushing's
Regiment, enlisted September 7, 1777, discharged November 29, 1777, service
2 mo. 28 d. including five days (100 miles) travel home." Mr. Newton was the
second member of his father's family to decide on Barnard. Vt., as the place
in which to make a home. On April 30, 1777, he bought lots No. 75 and No. 76,
paying for them £30. On lot number 76 he built his house and clearing the land
made a home and a farm. Lot No. 75 he sold on January 6, 1785, to his brother-
in-law, Asa Brigham, Jr., for £05 — half of his land. Lot No. 70, the Newton
homestead, lies about two miles from the mouth of Locus Creek, on the creek,
and was previously owned by Lot Whetcombe of Barnard, Vt. ; since the pur-
chase in 1777 it has ever since been in the Newton family and occupied by them —
his descendants.
Mr. Newton spent the summers of 1777 and 1778 clearing his land, returning
to Hardwick for the winters. After his marriage in Hardwick, on March 4, 1779,
the couple started on their wedding journey; which led tlicni to their future
home at Barnard, Vt. Here they lived and wrij\ight, as only pioneer settlers
know anything about. The.y worked at about everything that makes for the com-
fort, necessity, happiness and prosperity of human beings ; being wonderfully
well equipped both mentall.v and physically for the task. Mr. Newton was a man
of ingenuity and versatility. He was progressive — always ready to change to
something better. Thus he utilized the waterpower in the brook by his house to
turn the wheel of the cider-mill and for sawing wood. He built, then enlarged,
his buildings — rebuilt and added more in number, cultivated his lands and
improving his property, until he was considered one of the substantial men of
the town, respected and trusted.
At the second annual town meeting of Barnard, Vt., Timothy Newton was
elected collector of rates, March 29, 1779.
But a great calamity came upon the people and the town of Barnard, Vt.,
when, on Augiist 9, 1780, a party of twenty-one Indians from Canada fell upon
the settlement. After entering houses and securing personal property to their
liking, they carried awa.v captive to Montreal, and held for ransom, Timothy New-
ton, Jr., Prince Haskell, Thomas Martin Wright, all of Barnard, and David Stone
BRANCH OF aiOSES 273
of Bctliel, Vt. The hardships incident to their journey were many. On nearing
Montreal they were given a night's rest and then compelled to "run the gaunt-
let." After this each one was adopted into an Indian family and well treated.
They were given the privilege of hunting, to help sustain the tribe. In the fall
of 1780, Newton, Wright and Stone escaped and made their way back to their
homes. Haslvell was exchanged the following summer. After the capture, Mrs.
Newton and Mrs. Wright, both pregnant, went on horseback to Ilardwick, Mass.,
thus their first children were bom in Massachusetts.
The spot where Timothy Newton was captured, while he was burning logs to
make potash, is marked by a marble slab, placed tliere in 1906, by his great-
grandson. Rev. William M. Newton.
The will of Timothy Newton, Jr., of Barnard, Vt, is dated April 25, 1816,
and was proved September 3, 1834. He gives to :
Wife, Abigail Newton, the use of two-tliirds of real estate, dwelling house nnd eight-
day clock, "so long as slie remains my widow and no longer."

his land, lying about half a mile north of the village on the North Road,
was one of the best places in the vicinity and yielding a competence. The
family were all members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and Mrs.
. Chamberlin in particular, "was an active and useful member in all
respects. In the church music she was for more years a coastant member
of the choir than any other person; and a reliable singer, being a safe
reader of notes — and one of ,a thousand for perseverance." She was a
remarkable woman in every respect, as she assumed and carried through
nuiny projects for the good of the community, individually and collectively.
She inherited much of her mother's sterling qualities, and she kept them
bright with the polish that comes from use. She was "Aunt Lizzie"
to all the families about. The children especially loved her, while they
feared to displease her ; for they knew her frowns and reprimands were
always followed by a hearty laugh and something good to eat. She was
universally respected and loved, while being a most picturesque personality.
Now that she has gone from among them, those who knew her hold their
knowledge of her in fond remembrance. They had only the one child,

Gideon Newton of Ilardwick, a youth of nearly seventeen years, became a sol-
dier of the Ilevolution. He is described on the rolls as being of light comiile.xion,
five feet nine inches in height. Since there is nothing to show that either he or
his brothers ever were "of Southborough," and the minuteman, Gideon Newton
of Capt. Fay's Company, was a resident of that town (b. 1752) and performed
the sei-vice on the Alarm, April 19, 1775, it is evident that the boy at Hard-
wick did not. His tirst service as per the Rolls : "Gideon Newton. Private in
Capt. Timothy Paige's Company, Col. James Converse' Regiment, enlisted April
21, 1777, discharged August 31, 1777, service ten days, company marched to Ben-

John Calvin Newton settled in Worcester. He had no children. His

personal bequests and gives the rest of his property, including his house
and lauds, after five years, "to the trustees of Amherst College for the
endowment of a professor's chair of Greek and lectures on sculpture, now
filled by Kichard Henry Mather, or whatever professor's chair he may fill
at my decease, and is to be kept as a permanent fund of said professor-
ship, and is to be forever known as the endowment fund of John C. Newton
of Worcester, for the professor's chair occupied by Richard Henry Mather,
and shall ever i-eniain as such endowment fund." The real estate for the
purpose wius valued at .flO.OOO and the personal at $40,000. The late
Professor Mather of Amherst College was an intimate friend of Mr.
Newton, through whom he became much inter(>sled in the College.

He followed her up to Barnard, long enough to get married, and brought her

Sr., but at some time after 1S09 moved to Petersham. "There is an old farm in
Petersham called 'The Newton Place,' which I am told Warren Newton occu-
pied when living, and probably his father lived there also." Josiah Newton's

Mr. Newton lived in tlie nortli part of Framingham, Mass. His two children
died young, so this Ebenezer Newton left no posterity that I know of. He may
have had other cliildren before these two.

head of a household, the other members of which were two females.
Ebenezer Newton^ was a soldier of the Revolution. His service as given in

Willard Newton was a prominent and respected citizen in both of the towns
of Southborough and Marlborough. He lived on tlie old homestead and farm
which had been the property of his ancestors for more than 200 years. The old
mansion was in the town of Southborough until 1843, when it was set off to
Marlborough by act of the Legislature (chapter 89).

Southborough. Printed by request." John Marsh Printer, State Street, Boston,
1827.
The sermon is long and tiresome. The text is Ecclesiastes 1. 4. The sermon,
of course, has a little history interwoven. The part that interests us is not of
great value except that it is contemporary evidence, quoting : "Notwithstanding
the usual changes and revolutions in human society, and the perpetual fluctua-

ardO, son of Ezekiel, Sr., and Persis (Wbeelock) Newton of Shrewsbury and
Spencer, Mass., was bom at Shrewsbury, Mass., May 22, 1757, and was living
March 16, 1812.
He married at Spencer, Mass., August 30, 1780, Catherine Coggswell of Paxton.
Ezekiel Newton was a soldier of the Eevolution. Abstract of Service : "Pri-
vate, Capt. Josiah White's Company, Lieut. Col. Benjamin Elagg's division,
Col. Samuel Denny's (Wore. Co.) regiment, marched Aug. 21, 1777, discharged
Aug. 23, 1777, service five days including two days (40 miles) travel home. Com-
jiany marched to Hadley on alarm at' Northward. Eoll dated at Spencer."
Mr. Newton lived in Spencer, Mass. Eleven children were born to them there. '
At the taking of the First United States Census, 1790, the family of Ezekiel
Newton of Spencer consisted of one male above sixteen years, two males below
sixteen years, and four females.
From the following letter — which explains itself — from Ezekiel Newton to his
brother Edmund at Spencer, and dated at "Livermore," we may assume that he
had moved from Spencer to a town not far away — ^probably to Paxton. There is
no town of Livermore in Massachusetts. A local name as here used, perhaps.
This is the latest I have of this Mr. Newton.
Livermore l(!th March 1812.
Brother Edmund,
I acknowledge the receipt of your two letters relative to the death of my son Ezekiel.
Lnmediately after receiving the first letter I determined to visit Spencer, but the diffi-
culty of procuring money prevented my journey; and at the time of receiving the
second letter, the difficulty of traveling when the roads are so bail will render it impossible
for me to attend to the business of settling my son's estate.
BRANCH OF MOSES 385
Therefore it is my earnest desire and request that you take the sole management of
settling the estate according to law and the dictates of your own conscience.
(Seal) I assure you I shall be perfectly satisfied with the administration, and I do
by this letter, empower you to administer on the estate of my son Ezekiel deceased,
and grant you all the privileges necessary for so doing. The property you mention as
being left, I wish you to sell and allow such reasonable pay day as will ensure a current
price. If the stock is of such a kind as will let out to pay the interest and keeping, you
will please to put it into some good hands, if otherwise, it will be better to sell it &c
If prosi^erity is favourable to me, I .shall call on you as soon as opportunity will permit,
in the meantime wish you to consider my misfortune, and do that justice to me my
circumstances require. —
I remain in usual health and have the prospect of as much work as I can attend to this
spring.
Yours as usual, Ezekiel Newton.

Mr. Newton was living in Spencer in 1790. The First United States Census,
taken that year, gives his family there as consisting of only himself and one
female, who would be his first wife. From this I am led to think she had no
children, though she may have had, of course.
In 1812 he was living in Spencer and was appointeil administrator to settle
the estate of his nephew, Ezekiel Newton, 3d (Ezekiel", Jr.).

Mr. Newton settled in Westminster, where all of his large family of thirteen
children were born. September 24, 1794, he bought of Benjamin Richardson of
Sterling, "the 3d and 4th Division Lott," and made the first improvements on it;
building a house and fitting it for a home. It became the estate of his son
Joel, who was the only one of his children to settle in Westminster.
In ISrs, Mr. Newton and his wife Phebe were members of the Congregational
Church in Westminster. Although his father was taxed there on the lands he
owned at an early date, he was probably only a transient resident.

records), April 13, 1776. and died at Shrewsbury, March 6, 1827, aged 51.
He niarricd at Shrewsbury, January 31, 1803, Lucy Maynard, daughter of
Daniel and Hannah (Harrington) Ma.vnard* of Shrewsbury. She was born
June 2 1782, and died, probably at Heath, October 2, 1818, P. E.
He married (2) at Shrewsbury, April 17, 1825, Mrs. Dolly (Eice) Haven,
widow of Moses Haven of Shrewsbury, by whom she had six children, and daugh-
ter of Col. Asa Eice and wife Miriam (Wheeler) of Shrewsbury, where she was
born September 17, 1779. No children by this marriage.
Mr. Newton moved from Shrewsbury to Heath, Mass., soon after his marriage.
He owned and operated a sawmill there. After the death of his wife Lucy, he
returned to Shrewsbury with six children ; married again, and died in his native

I have not the town records of Heath, so cannot verify, but we suppose the
children were all born there — at least some of them were.

ard'), son of Solomon and Newton, was born about 1750 or 1751, and died
(I suppose at Framingham, Mass., September 13, 1781).
He married at Westborough, Mass., February 25, 1701, Hannah Dudley, ''both
of Southboroug'h.'' She died at Framingham, the widow of Solomon Newton,
about 1810.
Solomon Newton ''from Routhborough," was a citizen of Framingham, where
his two children were born. He was a soldier of the Revolution from that town,
and died in the service. He, with his brother Ephraim, enlisted in the Conti-
nental Aniiy, for the town of Framingham, for the term of three years. A
descriptive list, as returned December 2, 1780, gives his "age, 30 years, 5 feet
10 inches, complexion light, hair brown, eyes blue, occupation, farmer, engaged
for the town of Framingham, term three years, private. Reported to have died
September 13, 1781; wages payable to Ephraim Newton, dated May 24, 1781,
signed by Hannah widow of Solomon, and Selectmen of the town." The men
from Framingham received from the town "the sum of $100, hard money,"
and signed a receipt for the same, April 16, 1781.
There is a long list of items and enlistments as to his service in the army
not hero given. One paper containing his name is a petition addressed to Col.
Samuel Bullard, dated at Framingham, June 1, 1776, asking that the Company of
Captain Jesse Fames be divided into two companies. James Newton of Fram-
ingham (s. of Andrew*) also was a member of Capt. Jesse Fames' Company and
petitioned for the division.

Ephraim Newton "lived on tlie Common" in Framingham a few years after
his marriage. His first two children were born in that town. "About 1800 he
moved with his family to Delhi, New York, and had other children."
Mr. Newton was a farmer, "yeoman" as then styled. The First United States
Census. ITDO, shows Ephraim Newton head of a household at Framingham, Mass.
The family besides himself were one male under sixteen years and four females.
Ephraim Newton\ with his brother Solomon'', was a soldier of the Revolution,
I'rdui Framingham. He was one of the eight men who enlisted, after the
town had voted May 11, 1778, to raise a contingent. They were attached to
Capt. Caleb Moulton's East Sudbury Company in Col. Thomas Poor's regi-
ment. He was, also. May 7, to July 1, 1779, in Capt. Lawson Buck's regiment.
With his brother Solomon, he gave certificate for pay for having enlisted for
three years in Continental Army, and received the sum of $100 hard money from
the town of Framingham, April 16. 1781. November 12. 1781, he is quoted
as 17 years old and his brother Solomon as 'M) years, the same date. [History

He married (2) at Weathersfield, Vt., May 1, 1803, Olive L. Whitcomb, who
was born September 23, 1784, and died 18, 1880.
"I am quite certain that our grandfather Ezekiel" lived in Weathersfield, Vt.,
that he married his first wife, Rispah, there, and there she died, leaving one
daughter, whom we afterward knew as Aunt Rispah.
"Our grandmother, Olive Whitcomb, went there to live witli her brother, whose
name, I think, was Perez Whitcomb, who went there from Cohasset. While
there she met and married the widower. Ezekiel Newton.
"I tliink that Minot and perhaps Cynthia were born there. Then they moved
farther west into the wilderness around Lakes George and Champlain and settled
at a place called Hague, very near Fort Ticonderoga. Here I think Lincoln and
Henry were born.
"Of course you know the story of the Indians getting too thick around there
in the 1812 war, and how they left their crops vniharvested and loading them-
selves and their four children and everything they had in the world into an
oxcart, and with a yoke of o.xen for propelling power, started for somewhere and
brought up in Braintree. This is the story as I have heard it from Grandmother
Newton. At Braintree (irandfather Ezekiel worked many years for Major
Stetson on his farm and your father was named for the Major, Amos Stetson."

Their first child was born in Southborough, 1809. In November, 1809, a little
more than a year after his marriage, he was in Barre, Mass., where an exchange
of papers was signed for a farm and buildings he had purchased of Capt. Gideon
Tenuey, gentleman, and wife, Betsey (Child) Tenney. These Tenneys were from
Hardwick and Northborough. After that he lived in Hardwick and removed

Ebenezer Newton is styled "Jr." at the intention of marriage, also in the
record of his marriage, when he was "of Southborough."
He removed from Southborough soon after marriage, going to Hawley. Mass.,
later to Leicester, thence to Oxford, where he resided about ten years, and last
to the adjoining town of Ward (now Auburn), where he spent the rest of his
life. The births of his children I have gathered from the records of those towns.

son of Gideon'^, Jr., and Phebe (Temple) Newton of Southborough, Mass., and
Marlborough, N. H., was born September 3, 1779, and died , 1833, aged
about 54.
He married, proliably. at Acton, Mass., March 10, 1807, Sarah ChafRn, daugh-
ter of Eobert, Jr., and Hannah (Tenney) Chaffin* of Acton, ilass., where she
was born Januaiy 19, 1781 ; died, "widow of Silas Newton," February 25, 1868,
aged 87.
Silas Newton lived in Marlborough. N. H. Nine children are given in the
history of that town. It is said there were ten in all. In 1823 he moved to
Westminster, Vt., where he lived about three years, thence to Surry, three years,
then to Westmoreland in 1829, where he was engaged in the manufacture of
earthenware, and was known there as "Potter Newton." He is spoken of as
being a very religious man, attached to the Congregational Church, including
its views and practicing its duties. When a young man he had a strong desire
to obtain a collegiate education and to fit himself for the ministry, but his parents
did not see fit to second his wishes and he was obliged to give up the idea. He
had a more than ordinary inquisitive and penetrating mind, holding opinions on
many topics different from those around liim, and probably for that reason was
considered rather eccentric. [Hist. Marlborough, N. IT., p. 588.]
In 1813, Silas Newton kept a hotel in ilarlborough, N. H., on the site of
the house later owned by Granville Morse.

CHILD.
2918. i. Horatio Gideox' (M.T). i, b. .lul.v 22. 1820. Dr. Horatio Gideon Newton
(M.n.) wa.s educated in the public schools and was fitted for college at
the East Corinth Academy of ilaine. In 1840 he entered the Medical
College at Worcester, JIass.. where he was under the tutelage of his uncle,
rrof. Calvin Newton, A.INI., JI.I)., and of Trof. E. Morgan Parret, M.D.,
and was graduated in lS.j3, in which year his uncle died, and he assumed
the editorship of the Worcester Medical Journal.
In 1854 he began the practice of medicine in Bangor, Maine, then went
to Portland, Maine, and thence to Provincetown, Mass., where he was
port physician, and physician on the board of health. In 1873, Dr. Newton
removed to Boston. Ma.ss.. where he resided until his death, which occurred
at his residence, 3(r2 Columbus Ave., on May 17, 1800. Malignant disease
of the liver. Burial at >Iount Hope Cemetery, according to the I. O. O. F.
ritual.
Dr. Newton had practiced medicine thirty-eight years; he was a mem-
ber of the local, state and national eclectic medical societies. He was
prominent in several fraternal societies and in temperance circles. Dr.
Newton for a number of years was chairman of the board of censors of the
Eclectic Jledical College of the City of New York. At the alumni meeting
just previous to his death lie presided. In response to the toast, "Our
College," Dr. Newton delivered one of his crisp and encouraging speeches,
which made the company enthusiastic and happy. His intellectual ability

tenderness itself ; his genial fellowship was social sunshine ; his counsel

She was bom at Montague, Mass., December .5, 1781, and died at Sunderland,
February 29, 1819.
A,s a boy Mr. Newton removed with the other memliers of his father's family
from Southborough, Mass., to North Leverott. After his marriage, in 180.3, he
continued to reside in that vicinity until 1810, when he moved to Charlestown,
Mass., where he continued to reside until the fall of 1814, when he returned to
the western part of Massachusetts and settled in Sunderland, where his wife
died. He did not marry again and his family of young children was broken up
and lived in the several families of relatives, while he resided in the various
places his business called him.
While in Charlestown, he was employed in the blacksmith's shOp at the ship-
yards. While he had never served the long apprenticeship in that trade that his
son served, and they would not admit that he was a blacksmith, per sc. yet he
worked there in that shop for about five j-ears — the heavy work of "striker"
and such like falling to him; now that work is done by maeliine.
Mr. Newton had been in Charlestown nearly four years, and the War of 1812-
1814 was on. In that war the troops of Massachusetts were not under the United
States Government at Washiaigton — "States Eights" were having a flurry, and
the Massachusetts militia was raised by draft and must serve within the state.
Thus it was tliat Edward Newton was drafted into the army and became a sol-
dier of the War of 1812. His term of service was short, from September 13,
1814, to November 7, 1814, in the Company of Capt. Knight and the regiment of
Lieut.-Col. Dudley, on Castle Island, in the liarbor at South Boston. After the
war he became a contractor, taking jobs and contracts for heavy work. After
1819 he was a long time in Westfield, Mass., where he was engaged on his con-
tract to build an aqueduct across Westfield river. Sometime between 1835 and
1840 he went to live with his son, Marvin Newton, at Brookfield, Vt., where he
sjient the remainder of his life, and where he was buried.
Marvin's daughter writes of him: "He was a very pleasant man, and always
seemed happy. He was not able to do any work for many yoar.s liefore he died."
His great age became a burden to him, and he brightened \\p when ho spoke
of the future and said he "wanted to go home."
His first three children were born at North Leverett, the fourtli and fifth at
Charlestown, and the last at Sunderland.

Mass., July 20, 1855.
He married, August 1, 1801, Polly Albeo, daughter of Stei>lien and Mary
( •) Albee of Chesteriield, Mass. She was born at Mil ford, Mass., ,
1780, and died at Sunderland, November 22. 18G2.
Paul Newton, Jr., learned the blacksmith's trade, serving a seven years' appren-
ticeship. When a young man he had the misfortune to sever the chord of the
leg just below the kneepan, which made him a cripjile all his days — but did not
prevent his living an active and useful life.
Soon after his marriage he was in Belchertown, Mass., for a wliile. He moved
thence to Marlborough, N. II., where he resided for a time in a house since owned
by Mr. Jonah Davis.
■'The first blacksmith shop in Marlborough, N. II., was built by Abijah Tucker,
occupying the site of David Wilkinson's garden on Liberty Square. Joseph Wil-
son succeeded to it and removed the shop to another lot where the town lines of
Marlborough and Koene ran through the house. Aaron Lombard sueceedeil an<l,
about 1805, sold to Paul Newton. Mr. Newton added a small foundry to his
establishment for casting small articles."
Mr. Newton continued to reside in Marlborough, N. II. His three children
were born there.
At the reorganization of the Univerealist church at Marlborough, N. H., in
1816, Paul Newton is one whose name is affixed to the new Constitution, as a
member of it. He removed from the town in 1817, going to Hadley, Mass.,
where he continued his business and resided many years. One says of him :
"In 18-12 he was living in Ilawley, Mass.. working at his trade, where he did
honest work." From Ilawley he removed with his son to Sunderland, Mass.,
where they both settled for the remainder of tlieir lives. He lived there for
several years on the place later owned by William E. Dwyer, where he died.
The house in which he lived was burned in 1876.
His nephew. Rev. Baxter Newton, writes thus of him: "He always struck me
as being a sincere, Tipright man. In no one thing did he impress me so much
as in family worship. He read the Scriptures so reverently and thoroughly;
and his prayers were as artless and simple as a child. He asked his Heavenly
Fatlier for just what he wanted and left all there. He was not remarkable for
anything unless it was his sincerity, simplicity and faith."

(Chauncy) Smith* of Hadloy, Mass. She was born at Montague, Mass., July
23, 1786, and died at Cazenovia, N. Y., February 20, 1862, aged 76.
Stephen Newton was a farmer. In 1807, the year of his marriage, he went
with his wife to Cazenovia, Madison County, N. Y., where he bought a farm
two and one-half miles from the village, which he improved, added to, and where
he made a home in which he lived and died. In person, Mr. Newton was about
five feet ten inches in height, with broad shoulders — strongly built. He was a
hard worker, vigorous, economical. He was well informed, though with the care
of so large a family he had not much time for reading. He held only the
offices of school trustee, and town pathmaster; and was a trustee of the Baptist
Societ,y, of which church both he and his wife were devoted members, and with
wliich church his chihlren united. Mrs. A. D. Newton, in 1834, writes thus of
him: "Our uncle talked intelligently and well upon subjects pertaining to this
life; but when he spoke of the life to come, his face was all aglow, and you
saw at once that it was the subject that lay nearest his heart. His wife was a
pleasant, lovely w'oman. In most things a contrast to him, yet so perfectly
mated."
They wore able to train four sons wlio became excellent citizens, and of their
daughters Kev. Baxter Newton writes: "Without exception they were amiable,
pious and useful women. Their advantages of schooling were small, the public
schools being the place of their education. They were intelligent in proportion
to their times and opportunities. They were thoroughly domestic women ; had
abundance of practice at the spinning wheel and loom before marriage, and after
marriage their families were the great objects of their care. They all united
with the Baptist Church in their youth and from location and surroundings their
Christian work was inside of their families."
In their declining years, and at their earnest request, their son, Rev. Baxter
Newton, came back to the homestead in Cazenovia. N. Y., lived with and took
care of his parents until their change came — the period in their lives from 1855
to 1862 and 1864. Mrs. Newton, the first to go, retained her faculties of mind
in a remarkable degree, although for several years she was physically helpless.

Mr. Newton lost some of his mental power in liis old age. The farm passed into
the possession of his son, Rev. Baxter Newton, who continued to reside upon it
for a number of years, and sold it in 1869. The home farm was adjoined by the
farms of the sons, Stephen, Jr.. and Lewis — tlius making another colony of
Newtons.

whole, are more than an average in point of ability." Their children, born
at Cazenovia, N. Y., were :

Kenosha, Wis. ; later was in Ma.ssachusetts for a time ; thence to
Lansingburg, N. Y'., where he wa.s settled for a few years. In 1870 he
became pastor of a Unitarian Church at Rochester, N. Y.. and about
1890 removed to Omaha. Neb., where he was pastor of Unity Church.
The heiidquarters of the Unitarian Ministers at this time was at
Omaha, Neb., Rev. Mr. Mann Ijeing the dean. He has held responsible
positions at the head of the church organization. He is considered a
man of talent; is a powerful speaker; the author of several books; at
one time something of an astronomer; visited Europe several times; an
up-to-date man. In 1912 he accepted temporarily the pastorate of the
Henry M. Simmons Church at Kenosha, Wis. — the pulpit that had been
vacated in .January, 1911, by Rev. Dr. Morse, the l.ady who was to
become his wife, who had become pastor of the Third Unitarian Church,
South Kedzie Avenue and West Monroe Street, Chicago, HI. — and
' expects to continue in that pa.storate as Mrs. Mann. Dr. Morse was
the first woman who received a doctor's degree in Germany. She
applied at Berlin and at Leipzig and was unsuccessful. She appeared

"who was a sea captain on a whaling vessel." She was born at Shutesbury, Mass.,
April, 1784, and died at Worcester, January 10, 1842, aged 58. "Mrs. Newton
was a lovely, Christian woman; plain in her manner; not giveii to much 'for
show' — she made her home one where people liked to visit." For about a week
in the winter of 1841-'42 she appeared to be out of her right mind and was taken
to the Insane Ashyhuii at Worcester for treatment, whore she died within two
weeks after her arrival. She had one son and brought up, from a small child,

borough, Mass., was born there, June 23, 1786, and died at Fitchburg, Mass.,
October 25, 1863.
;518 NEWTON GENEALOGY
He married at Fitchburg, June 18, 1809, Susan Chamberlin, daughter of
Elisha and Susannah (Brown) Chamberlhi of Fitchburg, where she was bom
March 23, 1789. She died at Fitchburg, March 20, 1868. Her will, allowed
1808, administered at Fitchburg. Case in Probate, No. 43,430.
Mr. ISTewton resided in Fitchburg all of his married life. His children were
born there. He came to the town of Fitchburg in 1804, at the age of eighteen,
and was for forty years of his life actively engaged in business there. Nearly
all of that period he was connected with the business of cotton manufacturing.
He lived to see the territory change from its original forest to its now large and
thriving village and to assist in the changes and improvements. He assisted
in building the first machine for spinning cotton in the place in the factory where
now (1803) the Fitchburg Woolen Mill Company carry on business. That was
previniis to the year 1810. In 1810 he put in operation two spinning frames in
a building where the Stone Mill stands. The establishment then cost about
$1,800, and the profits the first year amounted to about $1,000. Being success-
ful in this venture he purchased the tract of land between the Stone Mill water
privilege and the Fitchburg Woolen Mill, and in connection with the late Solomon
Strong constructed the waterworks and factory situated on Newton's Lane.
There — part of the time with Judge Strong and part of the time alone — he
manufactured cotton between thirty and forty years, and erected most of the
buildings on that tract of land. He experienced all the changes of prosperity
and adversity incident to the govermnent's changes in the tariff, and in the
long run prospered — and then, when at the age of nearly sixty years, misfortune
overtook him and he lost his property. When a young man he learned the
cabinet-maker's trade. Being industrious and enterprising — and a "bom"
mechanic — able to turn his hand to anything, he started again in a different line,
and in the next fifteen years accumulated a property of seven or eight thousand
dollars. He, with Mr. Nehemiah Giles, built the large dwelling house — later
mostly enclosed with stores — where he lived in 1812, when the War with Eng-
land l)roke out. He was the commanding oiBcer of the Military Company of the
town, hence the style of "Captain."
Captain Newton was an active member and supporter in organizing the pres-
ent Unitarian church and society. He took deep interest in the choir and gave
personal exertions in aid of its efficient support. He was one of the persistent
helpers in organizing the high school, or academy, for the town — everything for
the betterment of the citizens appealed to him. He early became connected with
the Masonic fraternity and for several years was the oldest member of
Aurora Lodge. He was the leading man in introducing in that vicinity the
construction of arched stone bridges, many of which now attest to his good judg-
ment and foresight.
To speak of his personal characteristics seems eminently fitting in a Newton
genealogy. The regret is there is not space here to tell all one desires to record.
I quote from letters to me written by Mr. Garfield who knew him well, and from
the obituary in the Fitchburg Sentinel:
Captain Newton was, first of all, an honorable, upright, square-dealing man,
a man of most unceasing labor and great activity of life. He loved industry as
a matter of honor and of conscience. He was of great kindn&ss of heart,
especially toward those with whom he was connected in business. "He was of
a hig-hly social disposition, mirthful, and full of music. All of the daughters
were singers, and in their yoiuiger days sang in tlie church choir. They were
all capable, intelligent and refined. I knew tliem all ; — a more harmonious,
affectionate and mutually helpfid family I never knew. . . . Capt. Newton's
delight was to join with his daughters in singing the old-fashioned tunes — for
he never lost his ability to sing." A nephew, who knew this large family, writes:
BRANCH OF MOSES 310
"What a good generation it was and what a strong tie of affection hound the
brothers and sisters together!"
Captain Newton was rather short in stature — i^robably not over five feet, five
or six inches. ."He was very fond of his mother, and I think religiously obeyed
the dying injunction of his father: — 'Martin, I want you to be a good boy, and
mind your' mother.' "
A picture of (_'ai)tain Newton, tlic mdy oui' he ever posed for, was taken when
he was seventy-three years old. The face of a good man, the several features of
which are repeated again and again in the old men of the Newton family.
Mrs. Newton was a woman of rare executive ability — active, self-reliant and
resourceful, yet most kind hearted and sympathetic — always the same whether
in prosperity or adversity, and always of uniform kindness and helpfulness. She
relates the following incident of her girlhood : — she was one of a family of four
daughters and four sons of Elisha Chamberlin. a Fitehburg farmer. In another
part of the town lived a thrifty, well-to-do farmer, Jonas Marshall by name,
who by reason of a growing family needed extra help in the house. One morn-
ing in the spring of the year 1800, he mounted his horse before breakfast, and
rode to the Chamberlin home, three miles away, and told his errand — he had
come for one of the girls to go and live in his family. The answer was — "Well,
there they are, — take your choice!" He looked first at one and then another,
and said, "1 will take Sukey"; and without further ceremony mounted his
horse, and "Sukey," — then eleven years old — mounted behind him, and rode to
his home, where she lived till she married Martin Newton. She sui'vived her
husband five years. Mr. Garfield continues: "I luiew Jonas Marshall in his old
age; he had his peculiarities — wore a 'queue' — was Uncle Jonas to everybody,
and was considered rich. He had money to loan, at six per cent, — no more, no
less. It was a disappointment to Mrs. Newton that in his will he did not
remember her, though he gave to the to^vn of Fitehburg a sum of money the
income of which was to go to poor widows and unmarried women — who did not
ask aid from the to-mi."

James Newton was a man of most cstimal)le character, the imprint of which
is discernible in the lives of his children. His seven sons grew to manhood
and advanced years. They made themselves famous for their business abilities.
They built twenty-four mills in Holyoke, the narrow gauge railway from Wil-
mington, Vt., to Hoosac Tunnel, Mass., besides being engaged in other enter-
prises. When they were boys their father was a poor man financially, but rich
in precept and example.
Mr. Newton resided in Hubbardston after his marriage. Eight children were
born to them there. About the middle, or the latter part of 1835, he removed
with his family to Greenfield, Mass. He with his wife, Esther, and his father,
united by letter with the Second Congregational Church at Greenfield that year.
Three other children were born to them there. Several of his children became
members of this church, with their wives and husbands.

Albans for interment in the family lot. Her six children were all born in St.
Albans. Lyclia Ball came when a young girl to St. Albans, "with her mother,
who was a widow with three cliiklron : Benjamin and Lucy, twins, born October
10, 1784, and Lydia. The mother died at St. Albans.
Josiah Newton"' had a hard time of it in childhood. He lacked a month of
being a year old when his father died. Five months after the death of their
father, his little brother, Alvin'', was born. Their mother married again, a Mr.
Goodenough, and the children. Josiali and Alvin, "were bound out, and a sorry
life they led." Writing of this second marriage, the granddaughter of Josiah^
says : "The man's name was Goodenough ; his stepfather was so unkind the child
hardly ever had enough to eat; many times at school he would pick up the
'leavings' of the other children. All we know is, that he led a sad life." He
did not like to talk of those times, therefore his family lost a knowledge of
whence they came.
He told them how he came from Massachusetts to Vermont, "a-foot," with a
young man by the name of M. A. Holyoke. All he had he carried in a knapsack
under his arm. He went far to the north and settled in St. Albans, Vt. There
he lived until he died. He must have been a man of more than ordinary abilities
and of a high standard to accomplish so much, fie took uji lands and became
an extensive farmer. When he died he was a wealthy man for those parts.
Besides the Vermont properties, the records show that he owned others in Platts-
burg, N. Y.
He held many of the public offices of the city, and represented the town in the
State Legislature, and he was careful to educate his children.
Josiali N"ewton was a soldier in the War of 1812, in Oapt. Farnsworth's
Company.

ton, Vt, May 24, 1853, aged 76. G. S. He with his wife lie buried in the Old
Cemetery in East Swanton, Vt.
Alvin Newton" was a soldier of the "War of 1812. In consideration of his
services he received from the government a bounty of 160 acres of land in
Michigan. His granddaughter, Mrs. Chisholm. has (1907) the blanket he used
and carried in that war. She thinks his soil, Alvin R.. got the bounty land.
Another granddaughter, Mrs. Hungerford, writes of him in his old age, giving
a pen-picture of him : "I can see him now as he looked after walking out to
our home — his large cane standing up between his knees, his hands crossed on
the top of it and his chin resting on his hands — he was a beautiful old man, and
mother loved him. ... I know Mary Butler (Mrs. Chisholm) was visiting at
our house [she lived with her grandparents] and a neighbor of theirs came and
told us how the old man brought in an armful of wood, then sat down in a chair
and died instantly."
• Joseph .\5IIDox" was descended from the immigrant Roger AstMioowN. Amadownb.
.\MNAD0WXE. A5IID0WN (the Dame Is spelled all these ways) of Rehotioth, Mass., whose name
first appears at Salem, Mass.. in 10S7. Tradition has it that he was a French Huguenot. He
was for a while in Weymouth and in Boston, then settled in Rehoboth. He had a first wife
Sarah . who died in lOGS, and he married (2) the same year Joanna Harwood. He
had eight children. The line of Joseph Amidon" runs through Solomon^ Eoqee*, Roger',
Philip^ Rogers.

sentative to the Vermont Legislatvire from Marlborough, during the years 1840
and 1841. He was a famous teacher, and mathematician. For ten years he
taught in the district schools of Marlborough and Brattleborough, Vt. He was
one of the strenuous teachers that the big boys of those times never succeeded
in "carrying out" — instead, the school committee would be notified that there
was a new chair needed.
He was a natural mechanic, and in his younger days did much work in the
carpenter's and wheelwright's trades. Mr. Isaac Hines, a millwright for whom he
worked, considered him a rare workman — he so readily comprehended the require-
ments of a job, and his work never had to be changed. And yet, he would not
permit his sons to learn the trades they most ardently desired to learn; but
made of them farmers — to their lasting regret. He was styled "Captain" — I
suppose of the militia.

be became clerk in the grocery store of Jesse Cone, in his native town,
and later took a similar position in the general store of Gardner C. Hall
in I'.rattlohorough, Vt. In 18ri2 ho was clerk in the ticket office of the Ver-

when be retired from bu.sine«s life, to devote all of bis time to official
duties.
".ludge Newton" was one of the distinguished figures in southern
Vermont. To the surrounding country Brattleborough, with its several
banks, is the financial centre. Among hi.s other offices he was elected a
director, and in 1801. vice president of the Vermont Savings Bank. He
has the honor of being the veteran town clerk in New England. He was
first elected JIarch 3, 1803, and served continuously for forty-eight years.
He missed attendance at only two town meetings, illness being the cau.se
in both instances. Failing health obliged him to decline reelection in
March, 1011; but so accustomed were the citizens to seeing him there,
that by a vote of the town he was requested to use tlie rooms of the
office of the clerk whenever he was able to conduct private business. He
was made justice of the peace at the town meeting following bis election
as town clerk, and soon attained the dignity of trial justice of the town.
It was while so continuously acting in hundreds of important cases that
he fairly earned the title of ".Judge." It has been estimated by those
in a position to know, that be officiated at more than .500 marriage
ceremonies. He loved his office, and every article in it had a message for
him. Hi.s long tenure of office brought him a wide acquaintance, for the
jiu'isdiction of a justice of the peace is much more extended in Vermont
than it is in other states. He was a Whig and later a Republican in
politics ; a member of the Congregational Church and of the Columbian
Lodge of Free iMasons.

in Massachusetts, from the years 1780 to 1892. one was Lemuel Newton of Hardwick. who
had his name changed in 1846. to that of Stephen Eleazer Newton. From the above state-

John Newton" was a merchant, residing in Monson, Mass. He, with his older
brothers, Lucius F. and Hiram, located very near the old homestead of their
father, making a little colony there of families and children, and called "New-
ton Corner."
"His store was a gathering place for the neighbors in that vicinity. A great
deal of visiting was done among the men, by dropping in and chatting the news
in Newton's store. There were eleven cousins of us in the group and we had
very lively times. We held debates, discussions, edited a paper, and were quite
literary in our tastes. We attended the Academy in the towm and had the repu-
tation of being good scholars, and all of us were especially good writers; but
never a Dr. or a Rev. among us — good business ability. All of the men con-
nected with these families have been good business men."

there March 0, 1787. and died there October 19, 1865. P. R. [Oct. 29. T. R.]
He married at Barnard, Vt., February 22, 1813, Myra Dean, oldest daughter
and third child of Robert and Eunice (Billings) Dean* of Barnard, Vt., where
she was born December 23, 1789, and where she died January 30, 1861, aged 71
years. G. S.
Earl Newton, Sr., resided' in Barnard, Vt., on the farm taken up by his father,
and there nine children were born to him. All of his sons, except the youngest,
went West at an early day; but Solon D. has always lived on the old home-
stead, where he now (1912) resides. Earl Newton received the farm by will of
his father, also was made executor of the will. Mr. Newton was a lifelong mem-
ber of the Methodist Episcopal Church in Barnard, and for many years, like
his father before him, a steward of it. His wife was also a member of the same
church. He was a much respected member and citizen in the community at
Barnard.
• William De.^xi of South Chai-d. Somersetshire. England, did not come to America. His
will, dated July 20, 1634. mentions cliildrpn : ^yiUinm", "eldest son," John", Walte)-', Isaack-,
Thomas', Susan', Elranoi'', Marncric". ElUahctli-, "youngest daughter." This is sufBcient
reason for believing that the above Wh.ma.m' was the father of the brothers .John and Walter
Dean of Taunton. Ma.ss. The will makes plain that the son Walter married Eleanor Cogan
or Coggan. and not Eleanor Strong as was supjiosed.

He was Sergeant, Lieutenant and Captain of the Artillery Company of the
Second Regiment, First Brigade and Fourth Division of the State Militia. His
commission as Captain is dated June 14, 1832, and sigiied by Richard Skinner,
Governor. In his later years he was always called "Cap'n Earl."
He was a small, wiry man and had considerable local reputation as a wrest-
ler— such was his physical streng'th.
The Vermont military rolls show that Earl Newton was in the expedition
which marched to Plattsburgh, N. Y., in 181-4 — which service would make him
a "Soldier of the War of 1812."

NEWTON GENEALOGY
Major Larkin Newton resided in Soutliborougla, Mass.; all of his children
were born tliore. I do not know what the title major indicated, but probably of
a militia company of Southboroug-h. He was a prominent man in Southborough.
He was assistant to Col. Jonas Ball, director of the procession at the centen-
nial celebration of Southborough in 1827 — "Major Larkin Newton." His father
and uncle were on the connuittee of arrangements for the same celebration, when
all had a great time.
His estate was administered at Southborough, 1840, without a will. Case in

Dr. Isaac Newton was one of the old-fashioned country doctors, rather migra-
tory in his habits, and wherever he went, there he practiced medicine. He got the
foundations of his education in the district schools; his knowledge of medicine
he obtained from various sources outside, from private study and largely from
experience. He practiced in Lunenburg, Lancaster, Sterling, Ilolden, Worcester
and several other towns in Massachusetts and died at Fitchburg.
His first two children were born at Hubbardston. The third died there. The
fourth and fifth were born at Fitchburg. The sixth, seventh and eighth were
born at Lunenburg. Where the youngest was born is not stat<?d. From these
birth-dates can be calcidated about the length of his residence in each town dur-
ing those years.

Ricliard'), son of Caleb and Esther (Harvey) Newton of Southborough, Mass.,
was bom there February 1, 1795, and died there . 1871, aged 76.
He married at Southboroug-h, March 2, 1817, Anna Newton (2807), daughter
of Aaron" and Polly (Hill) Newton of Sonthborough. where she was born March
28, 1802, and where she died August 23, 1835.
Ho married (2) at North Leverett. Mass., December 1, 1836, Sophia Newton
(2309), youngest child of Paul'' and Martha"' (Newton) Newton of Southborongh
and North Leverett, Mass. She was born at North Leverett, August 24, 1801,
and died at Fayville (Southborough), May 10, 1888, aged 86. She had one child.
Her mother was daughter of Edward* (1591).
Mr. Newton was a farmer. His land, in the northern part of Southborough,
was formerly owned by his father and his grandfather and lat«r was the property
of his son, Adoniram Judson Newton. This farm, together with many others in
the vicinity, was purt'hased by the Water Board for a reservoir to supply Boston
with water.
The will of Lincoln Newton of Southborough was probated l^s71. Case No.
43,285.
Eight children were born of his first marriage and one of his second — all born
in Southborough. Mr. Newton was fond of music and singing. Lie had a good
bass voice and played the bass viol — violoncello. All of the family were inclined
to music. His wife Sophia was leading soprano, and all the children sang and
could read music. The daughter Sophia was quite popular and in demand as
a soloist in church music, and at meetings.
I think it not out of place to quote here from a letter written to me by their
niece. It gives a pen-picture of the home life of these old-time, worthy people,
that is good to see. She writes: ''Sometimes when mother would go away, she
would send me over to stay with Aunt Sophia. I can shut my eyes and see their
living-room now — Aunt Sophia — her work done — knitting or sewing, and Uncle
Lincoln sitting in the corner whittling out, I thinlv, ox-handles or else shovel
handles. When he was tired of sitting he would walk the floor and sing some
old fugue tune. One used to be, 'The angel of the Lord came down, and glo-
o-o-ry shown around,' etc. He was an invalid for some years . . . and they
moved to the village .... Aunt Sophia was the leading singer for years in the
old brick meeting-house — they had a large chorus and Uncle Lincoln played the
bass viol. In those days they say Aunt Sophia was a fine looking woman. She
always limped when I knew her. I didn't like Aunt Lovina as well. She wore
a false front and a cap, and didn't laugh as much, but was very good. Aunt
Sophia had a lot of hair, so she did not have to wear a front piece."
These Newtons were all devoted Christians — members of the Baptist denomi-
nation.

of remarkable ability to accomplish results. It is fitting that in a Newton
Genealogy there should be a larger mention of her life and work than
the mere facts that she wa.s born and die<l. I quote from the obituary
mention of her death in the Worcester. Mass., new.spapers:
'■Jliss Newton received her early education in the Auburn schools, after
which .she attended the high .school in Jlilford, Mass., graduating in
1808, and soon entered her chosen vocation of teaching, in which she
engaged some year.s in Auburn and in Oxford. In her work in the public
sdiools. she took high rank for teaching ability, and for the value and
permanence of her work. Jli.ss Newton united with the Congregational
church. Sept. 4. l.S(;i. A growing interest in foreign missions was matur-
ing into a decision to devote her life to that work : but loyalty to home
ties, which were sacred to her. forbade carrying out her plans while her
parents lived. .Vfter their death in 1877. she began preparation for her
chosen work.
"Miss Newton left New England in Sept., 1878, going by land to
San Francisco, whence she sailed in October, for Foo Chow, China, to be
a missionary. Her long cherished plan was to establish a girls' school,
and work among girls. In the early years she experienced both hardship
and danger to reach and bring these girls to the school. She lived to see
the school established upon a sure foundation and many girls were raised
from the degradation of heathenism to intelligent. Christian living. The
commodious and attractive building of the (Jirls' College is considered a
monument to her wise and self-denying plans and executive ability. Jliss
Newton is said to have mastered the Chinese language with great rapidity,
acquiring not only the classical Chinese, but the dialects of the provinces.
By her ability to bring out the full meaning of the language, she fre-
quently acted as interpreter both in diplomatic and mercantile matters.
During twenty-nine years, Mi.ss Newton visited her native land three
times, remaining a few months each time for the much needed rest, the
last visit in May 1001. News of her critical illness and death was com-
municated to her friends by Kev. W. L. Beard, one of the missionaries
with whom Jliss Newton was associated. He says: 'A service was held
in Chinese at the church she did so much to build near her college;
another service in English in the foreign settlement, and then we went
to the American Cemetery for the burial. Chinese were present from all
parts of Foo Chow, and some 200 walked from two to four miles to the
grave. No other person in Foo Chow has done so much for the higher
education of Chinese girls.
"It was she who made it possible to organize the first Christian
Endeavor Society in China. When I began to try to get people to become
self-supporting in their church work, she put her best thought and
strength into it, and her sympathy was worth more than words can ever
express.' "
E. F. Bell, a.ssistant secretary of the A. B. C. F. M., writes from
Boston : "The missioii loses a noble worker, who has given herself with-
out stint to the Chinese people. Though never strong, she has accom-
plished what few missionaries are able to do. Esjiecially is her wide and
deep influence due to her own love and devotion to the betterment of that
great people."
Miss Newton's will, filed for probate March 10, 1008, is an interesting
document. She gives to her niece, Ella A. Newton, land in West Auburn ;

Amos P. Newton settled in Ward, Mass., where the births of the first four and
the sixth of his children are recorded, as also the deaths of several. About 1842
he moved to Oxford, where other children were born, and where he remained the
rest of his life.
He bovight land in Oxford before his marriage. Several transfers by and to
him are shown on the records. The "A. P. Newton" house, as shown on the
map jiublislied about 1853, was built by him in 1837. February 1, 1837, the
land was conveyed by Reuben Adams (his father-in-law), to Amos P. Newton,
S3 acres. The land extending across Worcester road, the house he built

then a resident of North Oxford, a Baptist Society was formed for the purpose
of building a new meeting-house, the cost to be $3,000, divided into $50 shares,
each share to have a vote, and the cost to be averaged on the pews. Among the

North Leverett, Charlestown, Sunderland, Mass., and Brookfield, Vt, was born
BRAXCIT OF MOSES 373
at North Leverett, December 9, 1804, and died at Brookfield, Vt., October 14,
1856, aged 51 years, 10 months. Consumption.
He married at Brookfield, Vt., February 7, 1832, Lois G. Smith, daughter of
Solomon and Eunice (Griswald) Smith of Brookfield, Vt., where she was born
November 11, 1804. She died at the homo of her daughter, in Brookfield, Vt.,
Januai-y 9, 1890, aged 85 years.
After the death of his mother in 1819, Mr. Newton lived with his uncle, Mr.
Noadiah Montague, attending the public schools in the winter times. Later
he learned the blacksmith's trade, serving an apprenticeship with a Mr. Childs at
Deerfield Meadows. Mass. After his time was out with Mr. Childs he worked at
his trade here and there as a joume.vman, and about 1830 — more or less — he
went to Brookfield, Vt., where he bought a farm, set up a shop and settled for
the remainder of his life. In the winter of 1831-'32 there was a great revival
of religion in that region, and many people united with the churches. January 1,
1832, Mr. Newton, Miss Smith (who became his wife later), and one hundred
others, united with the Congregational C^hurch at Brookfield, Vt.
While afflicted with consmnption, Mr. Newton was able to be about until the
last da.v, when he had a hemorrhage and died suddenly. His widow was active
and bright in her extreme age, and able to wait upon herself.
Mr. and Mrs. Newton had but the one child, a daughter. They took a boy,
while he was an infant, whom they adopted and brought up. The child, how-
ever, retainefl the name of his own father, and is not known as Newton ; on
which account I give his record in this connection, instead of in the succeeding
generation.

resided, and which he worked, and was later carried on by his son.
Mrs. Abbott was educated in the public schools at Brookfield, Vt., and

Southborough, Leverett, Sunderland, Mass.. and Brookfield, Vt., was born at
North Leverett. September 2. 1S06. and died at DePore, Wis., January 7, 1889,
aged 82 years. 3 months.
He married at Ashfield. Mass., April 29, 1834, the Rev. Mason Grosvenor
officiating, Betsey Leonard, daughter of Ziba and Chloe (Shaw) Leonard* of
Bridgewater, Buckland and Ashfield, Mass. She was born at Ashfield, Mass.,
December 6, 1809, and died at DePere, Wis., May 14, 1900, agefl 90 years, 5
months.
After the death of his mother in 1819. Mr. Newton went to live with his
grandfather, Paul Newton, in North Leverett, where he remained about two
yeai-s. When he was fifteen years old (in 1821) he was apprenticed to Mr,
Chauncey Swan of ''Blood.y Brook" in Deerfield, 'Mass., a blacksmith, to learn
the trade, where lie remained until he was twenty-one years of age. During this
time he devoted his spare time to study with Mr. Chapin Thayer of Iladle.y
(whose wife was his mother's sister, and in whose family his own sister, Esther,
lived). His apprenticeship ended, he worked four years as a journeyman black-
smith for Capt. Thomas White of Ashfield, Mass. During this period he was
converted and joined the Congregational Church at Ashfield. The records of that
church show the following: "Abel D. Newton united with the church Septem-
ber 7, 1827, and was baptized the same day." (It will be remembered that he
was brought up in Baptist families, thus was not baptized when a child.)
Mr. Newton was drawn to the Missionary work, and being of a philanthropic
nature, he put aside any prospect of worldl.y success, passed a year in study at
Ipswich (Mass.) Academy jireparing himself for the missionary work that he
proposed. August 9, 1830, he made application to the American Board of Foreign

The Board gave no compensation -to any of its missionaries, except that their
traveling expenses were paid and they lived in the mission family. He was
directed to be in Rochester, N. Y., by the 15th of October 1830. when "It is
expected that Mr. and Jlrs. Looniis, fonnerly connected with the Sandwich Island
Missions, and Miss Persis vSkimier of Brooklyn, L. I., will accompany." It does
not seem unfitting that I here (piote from his letter of instructions : "The school
there is the principal means of doing good to tlie Indians, and therefore all the
departments of labor, and all the individuals employed in them, are to have
special reference to the improvement of the scholars in knowledge and character,
and the formation of industrious and good social habits; never losing sight of
the great end of all, which is, with the Divine blessing, to give the Gospel entire
control over their hearts and conduct.
"Your principal labor you may expect will be in the shop. When the boys are
out of school morning and evening, your aid may be needed, to considerable
extent, in directing their labors. When Mr. Ileydenburk, who now has the prin-
cipal care of the boys, is innvcll or otherwise occupied so as to be unable to be
with the boys, they may be luidcr your charge for a few days. So, when any
labor of special importance is to be performed, and the boys are kept from school
for a few days to do it, your aid may be nec'essary in helping to superintend
them. The Conmiittee are specially desirous of relieving Mr. Ferry from the
burden of care which is upon him, and by which his health has been much
impaired. They will wish you, therefore, to contribute to this as much as you
can by bearing such a portion of the care and responsibility of the secular affairs,
as shall be mutually agreed upon by you and the other members of the Mission
family."
After an absence of nearly three years, in consequence of failing health from
overwork and need of a change of climate, on July 13, 1833, Mr. Newton was
released from further obligations to the Board and returned to Massachusetts.
Soon regaining his health, and wishing again to enter the Chippewa country,
he accepted a proposal of the American Fur Company to work as blacksmith at
their post at La Pointe, Lake Superior (where a mission had been established),
with the understanding that ho could give as much of his time to missionary
work as he saw fit from time to time, Mr. Green writing him of this course:
"You may probably bo nearly as useful to the Mission as if directly connected
with it, and at the same time have more influence over all classes of persons
engaged in the Fur trade and perhaps over the Indians, too, by being associated
with Mr. Warren." Mr. Lyman Warren was one of the resident members of the
Fur Company, Dr. Borup their physician and Rev. William Montague Ferry for
many years in charge of the Mission.
For three weeks after their marriage, Mr. and Mrs. Newton visited among their
friends — farewell visits, for they never again saw their native State, and then
began what was "their wedding journey," going by carriage to Troy, N. Y.,
thence by the Erie canal-boat to Buffalo, from there by steamboat to Detroit,
where they arrived May 25, 1834. On the 27th they took a sailing vessel— a
schooner — to Mackinaw, arriving May 30. After a three weeks' stay at the Mis-
sion waiting for the traders to get ready to go on, they left Mackinaw in row-
boats — thirteen boats belonging to the Fur Company laden with merchandise.
Besides themselves there were Mr. Warren, Dr. Borup and wife and a young
woman, Josette Pyant. Some of the voyageurs were accompanied by theii' squaw
wives and children. In letters written by both Mr. and Mrs. Newton to their
37G XRWTOX GENEALOGY
friends in the East wc have a very pleasant and detailed acconnt of this trip,
and the manner of travel in tliose early times. They traveled by day and camped
on the shore in tents by night. Wliile the portage was being made at Sault Ste.
Marie, the passengers were made welcome at the Baptist Mission there, Mr.
Brigham superintendent. Going on from there they skirted the southern shore
of Lake Superior and arrived at La Pointe, 'August 23, 1834 — twenty-eight days
out from Mackinaw. While with the Fur Company, Mr. Newton's shop work
consisted in making articles for the Indian trade, such as steel traps of all kinds,
knives, axes, shaves, tomahawks, etc. Edged tools were a specialty with him,
but he did something at about everything that iron or steel is used for, from
repairing watches to making the irons for sailing vessels. He was able to obtain
and keep the confidence of the Indians in a marked degree. In any disagree-
ment between them and the factors of the Fur Company they must know what
"Noden" thought was right and were always willing to abide by his decision.
Mr. Newton was quick in his movements, especially so when walking. The
Indians noticing this peculiarity gave him the name of "Noden," meaning in
their language, the wind. He became proficient in the French and Indian lan-
guages as there spoken, and retained a memory of them in after years.
ilr. Newton was engaged to the Fur Company until July, 1840, but by 1837
the too constant heat from the fire of the forge began to affect his health, and
especially the eyes, and he was fearful he might have to leave the trade alto-
gether; but he was able to fill his contract — the last work on which was done
at Sault Ste. Marie, where he made the irons for a sailing vessel, 1839.
After leaving the Fur Company he had intended to settle upon Grand River,
Mich., and did land at Grand Haven with his family and goods. They left there
within six weeks — the whole family having been attacked with ague, and came
to Green Bay, Wis., arriving October 29, 1839 — the ague still with them and
would not be shaken off all the following winter.
In Green Bay he was for a year in charge of the blacksmith shop of Mr.
Daniel Whitney. In 1841 he set up a shop for himself on Adams Street near the
southeast corner of Stuart Street and built a house on Jefferson Street, where
the family lived until 1851, when he removed to DePere, Wis., five miles south
from Green Bay, in which town he resided the remainder of his life. The house
he built at Green Bay is still (1913) occupied as a residence, in good repair.
Mr. and Mrs. Newton brought letters from the Church at La Pointe to the then
Presbyterian Church at Green Bay, and during their residence there were active
in its interests — Mrs. Newton having become a member of the Congregational
Church at Buckland. Mass., at the age of seventeen. Both were members of the
church choir, Mr. Newton playing in accompaniment the violoncello, Mrs.
Newton in vocal music. Mr. Newton was one of the trustees of the church; was
frequently appointed on the Grand Jury, and on school committees. In polities
he was a Wliig, and later a Republican, voting being the only active part he gave
to it, except some activity in the "underground railroad" to procure freedom
to a slave, occasionally — which was against the law.
In 1849 he purchased an unimproved tract of 120 acres of land, tliree and one-
half miles east of the village (now city of 5,000 inhabitants) of DePere, for a
farm. In 1850 he bought four lots in DePere village, where he built a house
and a shop, and where the family resided until 1861, when he moved to the farm — ■
where he also had a shop — where he died.
In person Mr. Newton was tall, of large frame, quite thin in flesh always, until
three or four of his last years, when he became more fleshy; fair hair and com-
plexion, blue eyes. Like his grandfather, uncles, brothers and several of bis
cousins, he became bald when quite young, retaining only a light fringe of hair
at the back of tlie head. His manner and appearance is best described in the
words of a friend: "a gentle old man." In characteristics, he was of a religious
RRAXCTT OF JIOSES 377
nature, firm in the essentials of the orthodox faith, but not bound by mere tra-
dition. Ho ever sustained the reputation of being an honorable, upright, indus-
trious man — a good citizen. He had a quick, practical judgment ; ability to
gain knowledge, good memory of events and experiences which rendered his life
interesting.
Plis illness, lasting for years, was from a dropsical affection of the heart. His
position as ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church of DePere from 1802, con-
tinued till, from failing health, he was excused from active work ; but his Chris-
tian interest never departed from his heart; it never ceased its warm throbbings,
and age did not weaken till death quenched it, and his calm, well-balanced
Christian character was helpful to all who came in contact with him.
His first and second children were born at La Pointe. All of the others were
born at Green Bay, Wis.
Mrs. Newton was one of those bright minds of whom there is so much that
might be said that it is difficult to judge how much to leave out. Kev. Baxter
Newton wrote of her to his friends : "Cousin Abel's wife was a very remarkable
specimen of a well-preserved, independent, clear-minded, old lady, with an old-
fashioned faith in the Bible, untinged with any modern notions about these
things." Mrs. Newton was an "up-to-date" person every day of her life. She
had herself well in hand. She read a great deal and was able to form her own
opinions, as she kept in touch with the outer world and a knowledge of its
progress. The exercise of her mental powers was continued in a remarkable
degree to the last and her recollections of past events were fresh and accurate.
Her sense of humor was delightful. Her ability to discriminate was wonderful.
Her intuitions were almost as though she had already heard the evidence. The
last years of her life were years of cheerful, contented, quiet waiting. She had
brought up her children to respect and love her, and now she trusted them with
a perfect trust. She was in every way a charming personality.
Mrs. Newton very much enjoyed her membership in the Society of the D. A. E.
She was admitted January 25, 189(1, her eligibility coming through the services
of her father, Ziba Leonard, and of her mother's father, Sergeant Isaac Shaw,
minute-men of the Revolution. Being a living "Real Daughter," her member-
ship was sought by several chapters — even those so far away as Connecticut and
New York. No Sorority girl ever enjoyed being "rushetl," more than she did
the contest for her favor. She finally joined the Chapter at Milwaukee, Wis.,
then the only one in the state, and received from the National Society the
engraved gold spoon by them bestowed on "Real Daughters." Her National
number is 11,824. Her daughter, Emiina E., was admitted to membership May 9,
1894, a life member. No. 5.212 ; her eligibility, in addition to the soldiers above,
coming through her father's ancestors Paul Newton^, Daniel and Medad Mon-
tague (father and son) and Captain Abel Densmore. Also, Mrs. Newton's grand-
daughtei-, Mrs. Eola Lindsay, is a member of the Plymouth (Wis.) Chapter, No.
67,372.
Mr. Newton, in making his will (on record at Green Bay, Wis.), left his prop-
erty in the form of a trust deed, for the benefit of his wife, to tlie extent of
using the whole of it if necessary, making his son, James K., and his daughter,
Ermina E., trustees; or the survivor of them, sole trustee. It is a satisfaction
to record that his widow was perfectly satisfied with the performance of the
trust.

In the .year 1802 he began to have epileptic fits, which continued with
short intervals through the rest of his life — at times causing imbecility.
Too much praise cannot be given JIrs, Dickinson for the courage, con-
stancy and devotion with which she fought the battle of life so bravely.
"Life's heavy burdens" seemed at times too heavy to bear : but she
carried all cheerfully, willingly, gladly. In her strife with "the wolf at
the door." the needle was always a resource. For several years she kept
a boarding house for workingmen in West DePere, and later a small ice
cream parlor and restaurant. She was a woman full of sympathy for all

worth and made many friends. His parents, both natives of Virginia,
removed to the West and settled in Pane County, Wis.; farmers. He
was educated in the public schools and a short course at the State Uni-

wa.s a half owner of the then village [now city of 18,310 inhabitants] of
Eau Claire." "Xo man was ever more loyal to his home city or more
strenuous in promoting its welfare and prosperity." He established a real
estate business ; studied law, making the conveyance of land a specialty,
and was admitted to the bar in 1857 ; was a delegate from Wisconsin to
the Democratic National Convention at Baltimore in 1872. Both Mr.
and Mrs. Wilson were devoted to the welfare of their family, and con-
tributed largely to the happiness of very many other people. Since her
widowhood Mrs. Wilson divides her time between the homes of her
daughters. Her children, except the fir.st, were born at Eau Claire, Wis.

at Green I'.ay and Del'ere. Wis., and assiste<l his father in preparing
the farm for cultivation, with otlier side-work until the Civil War came on.
He enlisted Sept. 2(1. l.Sdl. private in Company G. 1st regiment. Wisconsin
Cavalry, volunleers, and went into camp at Kipon. Wis., — in the college
Imildings. In Nov., 18(il. he was elected to be first corporal of Company
G. The camp was moved soon after to Kenosha. Wis., and mustered into
the I'nited States service. About this time he was offered a commission as
2d lieutenant in tlie liHh Wis. Inft.. but refused, as he preferred the
cavalry service. Tlie complete organization of the Wis. 1st Cavalry was
effected in Feb.. 1802; Col. Edward Daniels, Lieut. -Col. LatJrange (a
popular officer who later became colonel of the regiment). The officers
of Co. G. were changed to Capl. Xalhan I'aine. 1st Lieut. Stephen V.
Shipman. 2d Lieut. .Josejih E. Mosher. and Edward Xewton was made
2d sergeant — that is. quartermaster sergeant. In March, 18t!2, the regi-
ment went to Benton Karracks, at St. Louis. Mo., were mounted and
drilled. There was also an evening school for the non-commissioned
ofticers in army tactics. As 2d .sergeant, Mr. Xewton had to keep the
company books, and was responsible for everything i.ssued to the company.
From St. Louis they went. April 27, 1S(!2, to Cape Girardeau, Mo. ; later
at Hloomfield. Mo., and then to Madison, Ark. ; after which he was at
Helena, Ark., sick, the effect of bad water, e.xposure and hard work, in
Sept.. 18(!2. Some of his experiences, as given in his letters, show with
what fortitude he bore llie terrible experiences of war. Dec. ,S, 181)2, he
was taken with typhoid fever and with many others in like case sent to
the "Sisters Ilosi)itar" at St. Louis, where he was compelled to remain
until Feb.. l.Sli:!. After that he was with the company and in the hospital
alternately — an<l he simply hated to stay in the hospital. He was of
heavy build when he enlisted, and the horses furnished were not equal
to his weigh!, so he owned his own horse and the government jiaid him
for the use of it. and its ecpiipnu'Iits. He sold the whole after the illness
reduced him so. In .\pril. 1,8(;:!. he was again at Cape (Jirardeau. Mo.,
and the following .May. with the regiment, had been assigned to the
cavalry corps of the Army of the Cumberland. General Kose<'ranz com-

and at the battle of Chattanooga, Nov. 23-2.T — his company being on the
reserve, stationed on a height where they had a fine view of the Union
charge through the clouds of the mountain. In December he was again in
hospital — at Bridgeport. Ala., and was sent back to Nashville. Tenn. In
writing about it he says: "I was at Chickamauga ... at Chattanooga
at that battle . . . ha\e had some pretty gay times this summer, and
some awful hard. I stood it far better than I e-xpected for I have not
been tough since that run of fever last winter. ... I am reduced to a
skeleton. Am able to sit uj) most of the time now." In March, 18t)4, he
wa.s given a furlough of thirty da.vs and came home, where he had a severe
return of the fever and his furlough was twice e.xtended. During this
time he was appointed a recruiting officer at DePere, and served as such.
June 20. l.S('i4, he returned to the army at St. Louis, Mo. His regiment
was at Atlanta. Ga.. but they would not send him there on account of his
health and that his time had so nearly expired. He was .sent to Louis-

borough, Leverett, Charlestown and Sunderland, Mass., was hnrn at Sunderland,
June 26, 1816, and died at North Hadley, Mass., February 22, 1849, aged 32
years, 7 months and K days.
He married at Iladley. Rev. (leorge Cook officiating, Fcbr\iary 10, 1841,
Lucinda Smith, daughter of Josiah L. and (\ynthia (Bixby) Smith. She was
born at Lynn, N. IT., May 12, 1817, and was living in 1888. She married twice
after the death of Mr. Newtuu, and had another son. Her third husband was
Lewis W. (Cleveland of Skaneateles, N. Y., where they were living in 1888.
Mr. Newton was nearly three years old when his mother died. He was brought
up in the home of his uncle, Hon. Walter Newton of Iladley, Mass., where he
continued to reside until about the time of his marriage. Bearing the same
name as his tinele, he signed his letters "Walter Newton, 2d."'
After his marriage in 1841 he was living on Middle Street, Hadley, and about
that time he purchased a small place iin<> mile south of his uncle Walter's farm,
'"onto which," he writcM, "we exix-el to move October 1, 1842." His occupation
was that of broomtier, although his last wtjrk was in the wire mill. "He was a
man of noble character, of strong faitli. <if exemplary life, a kind husband and
a l(jving father." Like so many of his family, he too was a victim of that dire
disease, consumption. He speaks as early as 1842 as being fearful it had begun
its work. In tliose days people did not regard eonsumiition contagious, and took
no precaution against it, or measures for its cure, thinking it incuralile.
Rev. Baxter Newton writes of him: "I visited your brother AValter in his
last, long sickness, and was happy to see his strong faith in Christ as his Saviour,
and his composure in view of ai)proaching death."
His children were born at North Hadley.

of, the family of the Hon. Walter Newton of Hadley (uncle of Lyman Albee
Newton). "They called her their child." Five children.

"Lyman Newton resembles his father, both in mind and feature, and with
whom he always lived — and took care of in his old age.'' lie removed with his
parents in 1817 from Marlborough, N. II.. to Hadley and thence to Ilawley,
Mass. He worked with his father in the blacksmith's business, thus learning the
trade. In 1842 he was living with his father in Ilawley, Mass.. when he did much
teaming to and from Greenfield. Ro_trustod was he by the merchants that they
sent by him to do their banking in Greenfield. This kind of lading niadr him
more apprehensive of danger than ail his loads of hides and leather; but he was
never waylaid. About 18.''i4 he bought a farm — small, but good crops, in "Sun-
derland Meadows, first Division." where he resided the remainder of his life.
His parents moved with him from Hawdey to Sunderland, they now living with
him and his wife. All four went to their long homo in Sunderland.
"Mr. Newton was naturally a quiet man, simple in his habits and manners,
universally respected among his nc(|uaintances, fond of the society of young
people and enjoyed visiting, and having company. At eighty years of ago he
was quite deaf and almost blind. His wife, who was remarkably smart and
bright for one of her years, was a great help and comfort to him always, but
especially so at this time of silence and darkness; her death (from pneumonia)
touched him keenly." Both had been members of the Congregational Church
for many years. His letters to his friends are full of his faith in the promises
of the Christ. In politics, ho was Republican. IIi> divided his farm in his life-
time between his grandchildren and their fntlu^r. William N. AViley, wdiose widow
(2d wf.) sold her share back to the grandcliildi-en — the family of his daughter
always having lived with him.
Mr. Newton seemed well as usual during the winter 1S8!) ; but as spring
opened, began to fail rapidly and died in IMay. The funeral was conducted by
his pastor. Rev. Mr. Butler, an<l was attended by many friends and relatives from
neighboring towns.
I, myself, have a personal feeling for "Cousin Lyman," for he wrote me
several letters, and was enthusiastic about this our "Newton Record." The last
one is very pathetic. After trying to write the date — all over the page — the
only other words are: "I can't see." He sent to mo. as something he had treas-
ured all these years, a piece of Continental money, with date October IC, 1778,
issued by the State of Massachusetts, and good till October IS, 1784 — "by act
of said state." No. 3,007. Three Shillings. On one side is the picture of the
"Pine tree," on the other at the top in a circle is the "great, grizzly cod-tish,"
we have all heard about and many have .soon. The signatures are well worn.
This was one of four i)iecos of Continental Money which Paul Newton^ saved
from his pay as a soldier of the Revolution. He gave one each to his four sons.
This piece was the one given to his son Paul, Jr.. who gave it to his son, Lyman,
and he to me [E. N. L.]. Thus it has been in possession of the family all these
intervening years. I have jdaced it between glass, that it nuiy be fully examined
and still be free from wear.

2966. REV. BAXTER NEWTON' (Stephen^, Paul\ Nathan\ Jonathan\
Moses-, RichardM, son of Stephen and Achsali (Smith) Newton of Sonthborough,
Leverett, Mass., and Cazonovia, N. Y., was born at Cazenovia, N. Y., August 16,
1815, and died at Montague, Mass., April 14, 1893, aged nearly 78. Burial in the
New Cemetery at North Leverett.
He married at North Leverett, in the Baptist Church, the Rev. Erastus
Andrews officiating, July 28, 1844, Susan Maria Boutwell, daughter of Deacon
Calvin S. and Sarah (Pierce) Boutwell of Montague. She was born at Sunder-
land, April 29, 1818, and died at North Leverett, June 24, 1850, aged 32. Three
children.
He married (2) at Southborough (at Fayville, a village in Southborough where
her father was pastor). Rev. Moses Curtis, Jr., officiating, March 25, 1852, Mary
Louise Curtis, daughter of Rev. Moses, Jr., and Mary A. (Potter) Curtis of Fay-
ville. She was boni at Providence, R. I., January 2, 1827, and died at Montague,
April 29, 1910, aged 83. Mrs. Newton was always an efficient helper in all of
her husband's work as a pastor. Her sunny disposition brought cheer to many
a discouraged one. She was a loyal Baptist all her life. One child.
Mr, Newton writes thus of his education : "What little I had was picked up
here and there — most of it at the Seminarj* at Cazenovia. I studied some in the
High School at New Woodstock and some in Leroy, Cenesee (.bounty, N. Y.,
where I was engaged in teaching for one year. Perhaps my attainments would
have been equal to what is, or was, required to enter college. ... I had
neither means nor health to endure close and continued study." He was led into
the ministry by such easy and gradual steps and unexpected openings, that he
could not refuse to follow what seemed the plain call of Providence. In 1842 he
visited his Aunt Lovina Montague at Bernardston, Mass., where he formed a
pleasant acquaintance with Rev. Elijah Montague, her father-in-law, who for
twenty-eight years was the minister at North Leverett. To his astonishment the
next spring (of 1843) there came a call for him to visit that church. He did so
and the visit resulted in his being ordained pastor there in September, 1843, a
settlement that lasted twelve years. A severe run of typhoid fever in 1855 com-
pelled his resigiiation and retirement from the ministry for a year or two. At
the earnest request of his parents he returned to Cazenovia, lived with them and
took care of them as long as they lived. He remained in Cazenovia between
fifteen and sixteen years; during this time, as he was able, and at different times,
he supplied the church at Delphi, N. Y., distant four miles from his home — nine
consecutive years, and ten or twelve years in all. He also supplied the church
in Cazenovia village, helping them to make large repairs on their house of
worship.
In 1809 he sold the farm at Cazenovia and removed to Memphis, Onondaga
County, N. Y., acting as pastor there for two and one-half years. In the spring
of 1873, just thirty years from the time of his first settlement, he received a call
to return to the church at North Leverett; which he accepted and where he
became pastor for another term of twelve years.
In 1885 he resigned this charge and retired to the farm he had purchased in
the western part of Montague, one and one-half miles from the village, where
he and his wife lived the remainder of their lives, their son Clarence and family
living in another part of the house and carrying on the farm. During these last
BRANCH OF MOSES 385
years Mr. Newton did not wholly give up his work, but preached to a small
church in the north of the adjoining town of Sunderland. Of the church at
North Leverett, a newspaper article makes the following statement: "The great-
est prosperity of the church was reached in 1S43, early in the first pastorate of
Rev. Baxter Newton, when the number of members was 213.''
Mr. Newton was never accounted a rugged man physically, but by husbanding
his strength and living a temperate life, was able to do an average amount of
work. In February, 1875, he fell on the ice and broke his hip — from which he
recovered sufficiently to walk about quite well, although a little lame. In person
Mr. Newton was tall, of large frame, spare of flesh, fair of face, with a quiet
manner that was at once pleasing, observant and appreciative.
His widow placed a memorial window in the Baptist Chapel at Montague.
Mr. Newton's children were bom, the eldest in Montagaie, the twins in Leverett,
and the youngest in Cazenovia, N. Y.

Mass., and Cazenovia, N. Y., was born at Cazenovia, N. Y., December 2, 1820,
and died there December 31, 1902, aged 82.
He married at Cazenovia, N. Y., September 25, 1844, Lydia Bartlett Kellogg,
daughter of Otis and Mary (Watrous) Kellogg* of Colchester, Conn., and Caze-
novia, N. Y. She was born at Colchester, Conn., April IS, 1824, and died at
Cazenovia, May 5, 190.3 — Tuesday at 4 p. m.
Mr. Newton was a successful farmer in Cazenovia, N. Y. His farm of 2.30
acres lies about one mile from his father's homestead. He made dairying a
specialty; was owner of a creamery and cheese factory, having the milk from
230 cows. Mr. Newton was a man of good judgment in any matter with which
he was acquainted. He was one to whom the neighbors come for help and
sympatiiy when trouble or difficulty overtakes them. He has been called to
settle two difficult estates; which he did to the satisfaction of all concerned.
In September, 1886, he was engaged as executor in a will case, the will dispos-
ing of $65,000, having ten lawyers — some of the best talent in the state — against
him, and won his case.
Of the politics of himself and his brother Lewis, he writes: "I ana proud to
say we liold no office; wc have always been on the off-side party; have for the
last thirty years (1856-1886) been firmly attached to the Democratic party, which
has always been in the minority in this town ; but has grown from seventeen
voters, when I first joined it, to 519 at the last election. The only offices I have
ever held were Commissioner of Highways for three years, and Excise Commis-
sioner for eight years; which last I resigned on account of ill health and i:)rivate
business."
Mr. Newton became quite stout and fleshy as he grew older, and was much
afflicted with rheumatism; but was able to get about in a carriage and attend
to business.
Mrs. Newton was a pleasant lady with a bright mind. She writes me of her
grandmother's wedding shoes — as described below. She was a member of the

Mrs. Lydia Bartlett (Kellogg) Newton writes: "My grandmother. Lydia Bartlett (after
whom I was named I. was married to Capt. Abner Otis Kellogg in the year 1768. and her
wedding shoes are now (1880) in existence. My sister Caroline has one of them and a cousin
in New Y^ork City the other. They are a curious specimen of a shoe, indeed. They are made
of white kid and blue satin and wooden heels covered with the liid. The toes of the shoe
are as sharp as a whittled stick. The heels are very high and nearly in the middle of the
foot. I do not see how she could step in them ; but if it were the fashion, she must wear
them, whether there was comfort in them or not." The mention of the shoes in the Kellogg
Genealogy [Vol. 2, p. 173] gives them to Desire Otis (see above), mother of Lydia Bartlett.

Mr. Newton received his education in the public schools, and became a farmer.
He purchased a hundred acres of land adjoining the farm of his father, and
made dairying his specialty, and was successful in putting himself in good
circumstances financially. He was a Democrat in polities ; and "like his
brother Stephen, making profession of no creed in religion, was an esteemed,
honorable, upright man." "He was quite social among his acquaintances, and
loved to have his friends call upon him." In his last years he was afflicted with
what seemed a premonition of paralysis of the lower limbs. After his death his
farm was sold out of the family. In 190(i Mrs. Newton was living with her
daughter, Mrs. Rumsey, at Grand Rapids, IMich.
Mr. Newton had four daughters — and no son.

RichardO. son of Walter and Sally (Clark) Newton of North Leverett and North
Hadley, Mass., was born at North Leverett. January 8, 1811, and died at North
Hadley. January 6. 1892. Renal colic and pneumonia.
He married at Oakham, Mass., March 31, 1835, Susan Harrington, daughter
of Levi and Eliza (Weston) Harrington of Oakham. She was born at North
Brookfield, Mass., April 3. 1815. and died at South Hadley, August 22, 1895.
She was a member of the Congregational Church at Hadley.
Mr. Newton received his education in the schools of North Hadley, and became
a farmer ; succeeding to his father's farm and homestead at North Leverett.
where he resided, where his children were born and where he died. He was a
man of integrity and worth, whose name and word wgre received without ques-
tion in business circles. Being himself square and upright in his dealings, he
was not suspicious of others; his too complete trust in tlie rectitude of his fellow-
men was the cause of his own financial undoing. Having become surety, or
bondsman, for a friend he was left to meet payments that another should have
paid. This coming to him at a time when added years were a burden, saddened
somewhat his last years. In 1886 he was in good health, able to do light work,
but not strong. He was thin in flesh, and became quite deaf. Mrs. Newton was
a very active, bright person ; many pleasant things are remembered of her. After
Mr. Newton's death, the farm was sold — in March, 1893, — and Mrs. Newton and
the daughtei-s removed to South Hadley, where they bought a house, and where
the mother died and the daughters reside.

observing man, with a logical mind. Four of his sons served their time as soldiers
in the War of the Rebellion, 1861-65.

Death of Martin S. Newton. Esq., of Rochester. N. Y.
Died at hi.s residence in Rocliester, N. Y., on Monday, Dec. 1-1-. 1SG8, Martin S. Newton.
E.sq.. formerly of this town, aged ."i3 years.
At a meeting of tlie liar of Monroe Coiint.y tlie following resolutions were reported and
unanimously adopted :
"Iiisohfil. That in the death of our beloved and distinguisheil brother, Martin S.
Newton, this Bar has sustained a loss the heart appreciates, but words fail to express.
"Rcsolced, That in tlie cour.se of ])ractice in the cit.v of Uochester of upward of
twent.v years, our lam<'nted brother was distinguished for devotion to the loftiest i)rin-
ciples ; for a zeal in behalf of justice and what he believed to be the right, which never
wearied, and which, with selfforgetful, martyr spirit, led to consuming personal sacrifices;
for perseverance, industry and fidelity to every interest he espoused; for rii)e legal
scholarship and refined culture which won the love as well as the respect of his brethren
of the Bar. In tlie intensity of his fervent zeal, he could esteem and resi)ect an earnest
and honorable adversary, and never sank the gentleman and the friend in the advocate,
lie wa.s remarkably sincere and honest. ,iust and honorable; and though a formidable
adversary, omitting" nothing that learaing, skill, unquenchable forerusic courage, and
entliusiasm could achieve, he never forgot the kindliest charities of the heart. It may
of a truth be affirmed of him. that the burning spirit devoured the frail body, and has
sent him to the grave in the full vigor of intellectual strength, an<l in the maturity of
undimmed mental power. In addition to tliese shining qualities he evinced in his life
singular purity of sentiment, and a.s a crowning beauty lie was a Christian gentleman.
"Rcnolrcil, That in his death the community is deprived of an eminent and useful
citizen, true to all the relations of citizen life,
"lifsolvcJ. That the members of this Bar — one and all — tender to the stricken house-
hold of our late Brother and associate our profound and heartfelt condolence on the
occasion of a bereavement which, just now, is too recent and sacred for anything on our
part other than the expression of sincere and loving symjiathy,"
Uemarks were made by several members of the Bar, among which were the following
by .losiali 11. I'.issell, Esq., a former student in Mr. Newton's office:
".Martin Snow Newton w,a.s born at Fitchburg, Mass., Feb. 13, 181.5. His father,
Martin Newton, was a manufacturer in that place, and gave his children all the advan-
tages and education which could then be obtained. After a thorough preparation at the
Academy in Fitchburg. and additional studies in Latin and Greek, under a tutor in an
adjoining town. >Ir. Newton, nt the age of sixteen, entered Harvard College at the time
when .Tosiah (.luincy was President of that institution, and .loseph Storey was at the
head of the department of law. Destined by his father for the profession of the law,
and anxious to prepare himself thoroughly for a successful career, his earnestness,
ability and zeal soon placed him among the foremost scholars, and won for him a high
Ijosition and reputation at (he College.
•■lie graduated the third in rank in the Class of IS!."). From that time forward he
relied entirely on his own efforts and resources. Immediately after graduation, he taught
school at Templeton, Ma.ss., until he was able to save from his earnings sufficient to
carry him tln-ough a course of legal study, pursuing in the meantime such studies as he
deem(>d best adapted to jireparo him for his cho.sen profession.
"From Templeton he went to the city of .New York and commenced the study of law
in the olfice of .fudge Peter B. Manchester. Throughout the long course of apprenticeship
at that time re(iuired before applying for admis.sion at the Bar, he applied himself
assiduously to his studies, working fre(iuently twelve and fourteen hours a day, and
mastering the old English forms and |)leailings so tedious and severe.
"Long before he was admitted to the Bar he had conducted most of the office work,
and drawn a large portion of the papers and pleadings both in common law and
chancery practice, for an office which employed a number of clerks and ranked among the
highest in the metropolis. Then it was that he became groundetl in the .science of special
pleading, and so disciplined himself that near the close of his long practice he could say
that he had never had a pleading which he had drawn broken in the courts.
"He afterwards studied in the office of Marvin & Maxwell, in New York City, lawyei-s
well-known at that time as among the ablest in the State. His examination and admis-
sion to the Bar was at the city of Albany.
"Soon after this he married, and removed to the village of Lima, where he opened an
office and commeuce<l the practice of the law. But with a mind so active, and an ambi-
tion so high, and finding after about three years experience that the place did not offer
the opportunities which he desired, he removed to this city and formed a partnership
with Orlando Hastings, which lasted until near the close of Mr. Hastings' long and
successful life. His subsequent history, his character and career are too well known to
require any comment or illustration here.
"In 18.50 he was elected District Attorney for this County ; a position which he filled
for three years with ability, integrity and an increasing distinction.

BRAXCIT OF MOSES 39I
"Jlr. Newton was twk-e married. His first wife was Elizabetli C. Slieldon of East
Rupert, in tlie <!reen Mciinitains of Vermont. Two cliildreu of this marriage are now
livins. the tliird died about tliree years since. These children were at an early age left
motherless by the death of Mrs. New'ton in JIarch 1852.
"In LStiO Mr. Newton again married. Ilis wife, a daughter of the late .Tames Chappell
of this city, lived less than four yi'ars after Iheii- marriaKe, and dyiuK, left one ehild, a
daughter and a namesake.
"As a lawyer, Mr. Newton was careful, painstaking, and laborious. He made the
interests of his clients wholly his own. seldom did they sutler at his hands. For the
lirst year of his i)ractice he confined himself mostly to oflice business and seldom appeared
as a pleader in Court., But when he began to study criminal law he soon distinguished
himself in that department, and afterwards jiroved himself both in civil and criminal
cases a ready, powerful ami successful advocate. His business and his reputation
steadily increased until he ranked among tlie foremost practitioners in this section of the
State, and gained for himself an enviable position at the Bar and m the community."

Moses^, EicharcP), son of Josiah and Lydia (Ball) Newton of St. Albans, Vt.,
was bom there July 3, 1812, and died at Pontiac, Mich., July 26, 1881. Burial
and monument in Oak Hill Cemetery, Pontiac, Mich.
He married at Eochester, Oakland Co., Mich., April 28, 1850, by Rev. Mr.
Hill, Sarah Ann Averill, daughter of Samuel and Elizabeth (Fowler) Averill
of Rochester, N. Y., where she was born September 15, 1827. She died October
26, 1898, at Pontiac, Mich. Burial there.
Mr. Newton was educated in the public schools of St. Albans, Vt, the St.
Albans Academy and the Burling-ton College. Becoming of age, he spent a
season on Lake Erie. At the age of twenty-two years he went to New Orleans,
La., and shipped on a merchant vessel to the West Indies and thence to Liver-
pool, England. He seems to have liked the sea, and shipped from Liverjiool to
the East Indies and various South American ports, after which he returned
to Massachusetts. In a short time he shipped again, from New Bedford, Mass.,
on a whaling expedition which took him into the south seas, around Cape Horn
and to the Islands of the Pacific Ocean, which lie visited, being absent two years.
He made a second voyage which lasted four years. He had shipped in the first
place as ship carpenter. He ovidcntl.v made good use of his spare time to study
navigation as well as to become familiar with the duties of a seaman, for at
the last of his sailing we find him Captain of the ship Massachusclls.
In 1847 he accompanied a friend to Michigan and established the first flour
mills at Lakevillo, Thornvillc and Rochester. Being pleased with flic iirospccts
in Michigan he decided to settle there. Three years after his arrival he bought
a section of land in Pontiac township and became a fanner. Being an excellent
manager he was a successful one. A Republican in politics, he was one of the
leaders for the Union during the Civil War. As a man he was moral and upright
in every respect. He gave liberally to all charitable puiTOses, and was ever ready
to help a friend in need. Socially he was pleasing and graceful in his manners
and an agreeable companion. A man of refined tastes — a father much beloved.
I have seen a picture of him. He had the head and face of a typical philanthro-
pist.
The parents and grandparents of his wife were natives of Massachusetts. Her
pedigree was not given to me.
"Tliere were twelve children born to them," ten of whom became adults. The
names of eleven were sent to me; also the names of fourteen grandchildren,
with no dates of any kind.

Mr. Newton writes : "I wanted a blacksmith's trade ; my father would not suffer
it. I told him that was the only trade I wanted ; but he would not let me go
while I was a minor, and said I had no ingenuity whatever, and kept me on the
farm. When I was 21 I felt discouraged. I told them, then, that if I ever
had any boys and they wanted a trade they should have it. I stopped around
homo a few years; got married; my wife had friends in Massachusetts and we
moved to Greenwich, Mass., where I worked at farming five or six years — the
last year doing some carpenter work. Hearing- of a shop in North Dana, Mass.,
where they made piano legs, employing about fifty hands, I went there and worked
on the job tliree years. The dust affected me so that I began to cough and the
doctor said I must leave the shop. I left it for a year — went back for ten months,
then left it and staid out. I then bought a stage line from North Dana to Barre,
a distance of twelve miles. I ran this line between nine and ten years, carried
the U. S. Mail, and did well in the business; bought a small farm and left the
stage business. About a mile from me a creamery was started at Millington.
I took the route of gatliering cream three days in the w^eek, which business I
followed for ten years ; retired from that and have lived on my place ever since,
sometimes alone, sometimes I have a family with me. I hope I have enough
to carry me through tlie remaining years of my life."
His P. O. address is North Dana, Mass.

422 NEWTON GENEALOGY
She was born at Brooklyn, Conn., September 18, 1833, baptized at the Congre-
gational Church there, July 29, 1834, by the name of Frances Jane Scarborough
Estabrook, which name was changed, after the death of her mother, to Frances
Amsden. She was graduated from Oberlin College, Ohio; married (1) March
18, 1862, Heni-y Woodrow. a widower with one child, by whom she had a daugh-
ter, Mary Woodrow. who died aged about six months; and he died about 1864.
She was a person of literary tastes, and a teacher in Cleveland, Ohio, at Kipon
College, Wis., and at Bcrca College, Ky. ; in the last instances as Principal of
the Young Ladies Department. She was living in 1905. She bore him three
children.
Mr. Newton received his early education" in tlie schools at DePere, Wis., and
while very young — about 1.5 years — taught a few terms in the public schools in
the country thereabout. After the War for the Union he prepared himself for
college and entered, as narrated below.
At the age of 18i years, Mr. Newton became a soldier of the Civil War, serv-
ing four years. He enlisted at DePore, Wis., September 13. 1861, in Company
F, 14th Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, and went into camp at Fond du Lac,
Wis. ; guns and accoutrements were distributed January 3, 1862, and they were
mustered into the United States service about February 1, 1862. Meanwhile
James had been detailed to act as Company Clerk. Joseph G. Lawton was then
Captain of Company F, and Col. Wood over the regiment. March 8, 1862, the
regiment left Fond du Lac for St. Louis, Mo., and were camped in Benton
Barracks until March 24, when they were moved up the Tennessee river with
orders to report to General (irant at Savannah, Tenn., where they arrived March
28. The battle of Shiloh was fought April 5, 6, 7, and this regiment partici-
pated in it. I am sure whoever reads these lines would like also to read the
detailed account given by James in his letters to his parents of his experience
in this great battle; but space will not permit. That they were efficient sol-
diers I will quote from the "History of Wisconsin": "This regiment was one
to rely upon in any emergency. Though suffering more than any other regi-
ment in the command, they maintained their lines and delivered their fire
with all the precision and coolness which could have been maintained upon drill.
They steadily held the skirmishers on our right and front at the foot of the hill
where we had so long and fierce a fight at Shiloh and lost 98 men." The can-
non they captured there now stands in Madison, Wis., and was presented by
tliem to the State Historical Society. July 23, they moved to Hamburg, and
Aug. 29 were marched to near Corinth, Miss., and were assigned to 2d Brigade,
Col. Oliver, Sixth Division, Brig.-Gen. McArtliur. [After the Battle of Shiloh
Capt. J. G. Lawton was permitted to resign and was succeeded by Lieut. Sam-
uel Harrison. Col. David E. Wood was wounded in the battle and was succeeded
by Col. John Hancock.] Sept. 1, 1862, the Company were sent to rout out a
band of guerrillas at Kossuth and Chewalla; and again, at luka, September
22 after Gen. Price, where a battle occurred. "At the 2""^ battle of Corinth, Oct.
3rd and 4th, 1862, the regiment under Col. Hancock displayed signal bravery, and

Corinth James Newton and some of the others moved too far front in the battle

As a prisoner he was first parolled and later exchans'<'i!. during which time
he came home. The exchanged men left Wisconsin January 1, 1863, went down
to Millikins Bend, were at Lake Providence, La., and Carthage, mostly after
Cotton; then to Vicksburg, Miss., when he participated in the unsuccessful
charge in May 22. The Company suffered severely — Captain hurt by a fall, both
Lieutenants wounded, evei'y sergeant wounded and all but one corporal wounded;
and James Newton, private, acting orderly sergeant. June 5, 1863, he writes :
"The Capt. was taken sick yesterday and was sent to the hospital; he left rae
in command of the Comimny." He hoped to lead it into the city, but an officer
was on hand for that honor.
July 18, 1863, they were at Natchez, Miss., where the regiment was detailed
as provost guards and Newton was promoted to be 2d sergeant. He had for a
long time been acting as 1st sergeant (Oi'derly), while his ranli up till now
was only private. After this, the regiment moved about mucli, whicli I omit.
In December, 1863, he reenlisted ("for the war" ; his first enlistment — "for three
years" — had not yet expired) and was given a furlough of thirty days. He was
now a "Veteran." Returning, the Veterans were assigned to the Division of
Gen. Thomas K. Smith, and participated in tlie Red River Expedition under
Gen. N. P. Banks — "a hard campaign," Newton says, of which he gives details.
His position as Company Clerk gave him opportunities of writing, which he
was glad to utilize, and tell of the many battles he had been in — "by the dozen"
he says.
In May, 1864, the regiment had returned and took part in the Tupelo Exi^edition
and battle there July 14. After that they were sent through Arkansas and
Missouri, returning, after a hard march after Gen. Price, 340 miles to Mem-
phis, Tenn. By this time he was having ague more or less, but kept with the
regiment and did his part. As Company Clerk he did not have to stand guard,
which saved him greatly. Another march of 290 miles, again after Gen. Price,
and in better health, and when the enemy was defeated several times. Novem-
ber, 1864, the regiment returned to St. Louis, Mo., and thence proceeded to
Nashville, Tenn., to reenforce Gen. Thomas, and was placed in tlie 16th Army
Corps, Gen. A. J. Smith's Division, and on December 2, 1864, were again in
line of battle against Gen. Hood; the battle occurring December 15. They fol-
lowed the enemy to Pulaski, and so on to Eastport, Miss. During this time there
had been a readjustment of the officers of the Company. John Ryan was made
Captain; Charles Beattio 1st Lieutenant; Reuben Wlieeler, who had for long
time been 2d Lieutenant, was not changed as his time was soon to expire, and
James Newton, 1st Sergeant. The promotion, liowever, did not relieve him as
Company Clerk. He had both duties to perfonn — "sometimes I have my hands
full," he writes. From Eastport they were sent out several times to Corinth and
luka, and back, routing Gen. Ross. At Eastport he had the pleasure of seeing
his brother Samuel, "found him on the other side of the river [at Waterloo] . . .
he was just eating his dinner, a plate full of mush with a piece of fried pork."
February 8, 1865, they left Eastport, going by way of New Orleans to Mobile,
Ala., where they were used to invest Spanish Fort, being constantly engaged as
skirmishers and shanishooters until its surrender April 8, after which they went
to Montgomery, Ala. May 1. 1865, he writes : "I went down to the city yester-
day and attended divine service in the Capitol, where four years ago Jeff. Davis
delivered his inaugural address. The room was crowded, principally with sol-
diers, but I noticed a few citizens and several ladies. The sermon was preached
by one of our Army Chaplains and was really very good. The text was, 'and they
laughed him to scorn.' " July 27, 1865, he was mustered in as a commissioned
officer, 2d Lieutenant, in place of Lieutenant Wheeler. In August he was
appointed >Special Commissioner for Administering the Amnesty Oath and sta-
tioned at Nixburg, Ala. (about forty miles north of Montgomery), and the regi-
424 NEWTON GENEALOGY
ment returned to Mobile. The war was over. He was discharg-ed October 10,
1865, "by reason of services no longer required." ... "I start for Mont-
gomery in half an hour."
Returning- to DePere in his 23d year, Mr. Newton thought to fit himself for a
business career. He went to Ripon College, taking special studies. Later he
entered the preparatory course from which he was graduated in 1867, and in
September of that year entered, a Freshman, Oberlin College in Ohio, taking
the regular course. Finding that he possessed an unusual aptitude for the acquir-
ing of languages, he was advised to and decided upon making that his special
line of work; the last year of his course to be spent wholly upon that, and in
Europe. He sailed with his wife, December 1, 1870. The next two and one-
half years were spent at Brunswick, Germany, Vevey and Lausanne, Switzer-
land and last, Berlin, Prussia.
While still in Europe he received an invitation to accept the work of Instructor
of French and German at Oberlin College, upon his return. Th.ey returned in
i'Vpril, 1873, and he took up the work. In July, 1873, the College conferred upon
hinr the degree of A.M. In August, 1875, a Professorship of Modern Languages
was created in the college and Mr. Newton was appointed to till the chair. His
work at Oberlin was eminently successful. From formerly being considered as
one of the fancy studies these are now rated among the essentials. Some of his
lectures before the students he was invited to repeat in other places, and have
printed, which he did. He was brought up to be a Christian, and while at Ripon,
Wis., united with the Congregational Church. At Oberlin he was elected Dea-
con in the Second Congregational Church, which otfice he filled until March,
1888, when an increasing bronchial affection, brought on by overwork and the
malarial climate, compelled his retirement from both the College work and church
work in that vicinity. In August, 1888, he removed with his family to Cali-
fornia, where he bought a small fruit acreage, which he planted, and otherwise
engaged in the buying and selling of nursery stock, residing at Nordhoff, Calif.,
where he died — the bronchial trouble having become consumption. He received
a United States pension.
Mr. Newton was tall — between two and three inches above six feet, and car-
ried himself as soldiers must; brown eyes; light complexion, fair hair, black
whiskers. This is a queer combination that is man.v times repeatetl in his line
of Newtons.

BRANCH OF MOSES 425
Samuel Newton was educated in the iiublic and ]irivato schools at DePere,
Wis., and later worked with his father on the fann and in the blacksmith's shop.
He became quite proficient in the latter trade, but not to the extent of his
father's ability.
In 18G4, when the draft for troops was most felt, Newton was twenty years
of age. There were five calletl for from his district, and only three men left
who were eligible from whom to take them. The others had enlisted in other
towns for the bounties offered. Thus, whether he would or not, he had to
become a soldier. He enlisted at Green Bay, August 24, 18C4, private in Com-
pany G, Lieut. J. H. Barnes, First Wisconsin Cavalry Volimteers, "to serve one
year or during the war," and was sent to Madison, Wis., to await transportation
to the regiment, which was then a part of the Army of the Cumberland under
Rosecranz, soon to be superseded by Gen. Thomas. September 29, 1864, he
arrived at Nashville, Tenn. From this time on Mr. Newton kept a diary of his
experiences, which, together with his letters to his parents, gives us quite an idea
of what a soldier's daily life may be. For use here I regret not to be able to
give more than his itinerar.y, as I was obliged to do in the case of his brothers.
October 5 he was mounted and immediately sent out on a raid against guerrillas
and was gone about two weeks. This renuiant of the regiment, with others in
like case, left Nashville, October 21, 1864, expecting to join the full regiment
at Chattanooga. The.v marched via Murfreesborough, Selbyville, Tallahoma,
and crossed the Cumberland mountains October 25, arriving at Stephenson,
Ala., October 26 ; going on from there they reached Chattanooga, October 29.
But the regiment had gone to Calhoun, Ga., and they followed. Arriving to
within one mile of Calhoun they met the regiment on its way back to Nashville
as guard to the Brigade wagon train, 400 mule wagons en train, with orders for
the recruits to return with them. They returned by another road, reaching Chat-
tanooga, November 5. On the 8th they were camped at the foot of Lookout
Mountain. "Then the election came off . . . and I cast my first vote for 'Old
Abe,' " he writes. Both of his brothers cast their first votes for Abraham Lin-
coln in this election. Reaching McMinnville, November 13, they crossed the
(,'umberland mountains and were again at Murfreesborough, November 15, and
Nashville, November 17. He writes from Louisville, "It has rained every day for
three weeks." November 24, he states, "I weigh 175 lbs." November 30, "Have
done my first regular mounted drill; got along v'ery well considering." "Dec. 1.
Have done nothing of any conseciuence except to shoe my horse, until tonight
was ordered out on picket." December 4, the regiment went out from Louis-
ville, Ky., again and drove the enemy from Bowling Green, Hopkinsville and
Elizabethtown, Ky., when the campaign closed and they went into winter quarters
at Waterloo, Ala., arriving there January 30, 1865, and remaining until March 10.
1865. Of this raid through Kentucky Mr. Newton gives a graphic account as
to his part in the defeat of the rebel Gen. Hood's raid into Kentucky, and the
rebel Gen. Lyon's rout at Hopkinsville. At Waterloo, Ala., Mr. Newton was
able to exchange visits with his brother, James, of the 14th Wisconsin Infantry,
who were in camp at Eastport, Miss., across the river. The river became so
swollen that on March 1, the Cavalry moved camp across to Eastport, and on
March 10, under command of Gen. James H. Wilson, began a series of marches, •
of driving the enemy before them, of capture and of destruction of rebel prop-
erty, of skirmishes and hard fighting, the results of w'hich were far-reaching
and decisive and have become historic. Mr. Newton sums up his account of
this raid in the words : "We overtook them before noon, however, and then it
was charge after charge, day after day — which, I want you to understand is
no easy work." They went by the way of Jasper, Iron Ridge, where they
destroyed iron factories; Centerville, Edgefield, Selma, ^Montgomery, West Point,
to Macon, Ga., where they arrived April 20, 1865. The enemy in front of them
42(; NEWTON GRNEALOOY
was the rebel Gen. Forrest, and Gen. Jackson's cavalry. The cities were all manu-
facturing centers, and they left them in ruins. The last active duty of the
First Wisconsin Cavalry was its association with the capture of Jefferson Davis
at Irwinville, May 10, 1865, after which they returned to their camp at Macon,
Ga., and on May 13, marched northward, arriving at Edgarville, Tenn. (opposite
Nashville), where they were mustered out of service, Jidy 19, 1865, and shortly
afterward paid and disbanded.
The exposure and coarse food brought on a diarrhea of which Mr. Newton
writes first when at Eastport, where the fare was "corn — ground up cobs and
all," he says. On the march the soldiers lived off the country and recovered
from the effects of camp-fare. At Macon he was sent to the hospital for six
days. In the march northward he had a serious time of it, and was in the hos-
pital at Chattanooga five days; then was sent by rail to Louisville, Ky., where he
was put on a hospital boat and taken to Keokuk, Iowa, from there by rail to
Davenport, Iowa, thence by steamer to Prairie du Chien, Wis., to the General
Hospital, where he was July 2, 1865, and his friends found him and took him
home. At this date he weighed ninety-four pounds and was able to sit up part
of the day. His discharge from the service is dated "July 29, 1865, by reason
of orders from War Department dated April 29, 1865." He gained rapidly at
the home of his sister, in Eau Claire, and returned to his home at DePere.
He never wholly recovered from the diarrhea, which became chronic, but was
in a fair state of health for several years, after which an organic heart trouble
was the immediate cause of his death. Eeceived a United States pension.
Mr. Newton returned to his father's house and farm, where he continued the
work he had laid down. After his marriage he bought a house and lot in the
city, where he lived the remainder of his life — at first engaged in blacksmithing,
later and for the last sixteen years of his life in the employ of "Jackson &
Sons Co.," a department store.
Mr. Newton in person was much like his brother James; about six feet
two inches in height, spare in flesh, fair complexion and brown eyes, very light
hair and black whiskers. He was a man of frank, generous, kind, obliging nature.
His prudence and reserve would not admit him to contend, no matter what the
cause or affront might be. Thoughtful and intelligent, he was always interest-
ing in conversation, and his fidelity to a trust was perfect. He was a charter
member of the Harrison Post, G. A. R. of DePere, six membp-a of which acted
as pallbearers at his funeral.
His children were all born at DePere, Wis.

Mr. Newton was nearly six years old when his father died ; for five years
thereafter he lived with Mr. William Newton (his cousin) of North Hadlc.v.
where he attended the public schools. Later he went a few tenns to school in
Williauisburf;', and two terms at Hartford, Conn.
In 1801, being tlien eighteen years of age, he enlisted to be a soldier in the
Civil War, at Orfort, N. H., in Company C, 5tli New Hampshire Volunteer
Infantry, and went into camp at Concord, N. H. From there he was sent to
Washington, D. C, where he received ai-ms and went into camp on Arlington
Heights, Va., near what is called Clouds Mills. He was there for some time
and was out in a few skirmishes. Tlie regiment's first battle was at Fair Oaks,
May 31, 1862 ; but Mr. Newton was not engaged in it, having been sent some
six weeks previous to the general hospital, where he was confined four months
with inflammation of the bowels. He was then pronounced unfit for further
service and sent home.
When he enlisted he weighed 1(55 pounds; recovering enough strength after
the illness to return home, he weighed, with army overcoat on, 80 pounds.
Regaining his health at home, he was not satisfied to remain there while soldiers
could help his country. He returned to the army for nine months — reenlisting
in 1863, in Company I, 52d Massachusetts Volunteers and was sent to New
Orleans, thence to Baton Rouge, and was all throiigh that campaign and at the
surrender of Port, Hudson ; the ^>2d Massachusett regiment being the first to
go up the Mississippi river when thus opened. He was mustered out of service
August 14, 1864, at Greenfield, Mass. The effects of the hardships and expo-
sures endured as a soldier will remain with him through life.
Of his life and work Mr. Newton writes: "It is, and has been, full of fail-
ures. My aim is to do good, but fear I have accomplished little, by letting so
many opportunities pass luiheedcd." He was one of the first to join the "Young
People's Society of Christian Endeavor" and was appointed its State Superin-
tendent by the General Conference. Also held the ofiice of President of the
Hampshire County Union, being Secretary of the local society.
By occupation, Mr. Newton is a carpenter. From 1876 to 1879 was living in
Portland, Maine, but has lived the greater part of his life in Hampshire County,
Mass. In 1905 was living in Northampton, Mass.

THIRD GENERATION AND CHILDREN
116. JOSEPH NEWTON'-, JR. (Joseph-, Richard^), son of Deacon Joseph
Newton of Marlborough and Abigail ( ), his wife, was born at Marlborough.
Mass., May 24, 1673, and died there July 29, 1756.
He married Abigail . She died at Marlborough, January 12, 1748-9.
She was the mother of his nine children and he seems to have had no other wife.
Both Joseph Newton^ and his son Joseph'', who died before his father did, are
called "Joseph Newton, Jr." The father mentions him in his will, "my fifth
son, Joseph Newton, Deceast."
Joseph Newton^ was made executor of his father's will, and residuary legatee.
His son, Jazzaniah*, having b.y bequest the lands and dwelling house of Deacon
Joseph, Sr., gets hut ten shillings, by will from his own father. It is interest-
ing to notice how the fathers of those days provided before death for their chil-
dren, and at the last by their wills balanced up the portions.
In the deed given by himself and his sisters in settlement of his father's estate,
he calls himself "yeoman" and "Jun'."
The will of Joseph Newton-'', Jr., which follows, is a much-worn document and
pasted together — it could not be traced. It has four pages 71 x 321 inches. Page
1 and part of 2 is the will. Page 3. the original superscription, was the outer
one, evidently sent by messenger as no postmark appears. Page 4, the docket-
ing. The three other documents arc: 1, the will; 2, probate of will; 3 is a
printed probate letter, dated 23d Aug. 1756. Micah Newton is allowed executor's
letter by S. Danforth ; document 4 is a printed bond. Lib. 29, p. 34.

FOTTRTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN
4253. JAAZANIAH NEWTON^ (Josephs Joseph^, Richard^), son of Joseph,
Jr., and Abigail ( ) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was bom there May 1,
1702, and died at Paxton, Mass., between the making of his will, March 17, 1773,
and the probating of it April 2, 1780.
He married at Marlborough, January 5, 1725-26, Deliverence Newton (223),
daughter of John^ and Hannah (Morse) Newton of Marlborough, where she was
born January 1, 1705. She died, probably, in Paxton. She was living there in
1773.
Jazzaniah Newton lived in Marlborough until after his first four children were
born. The others were born in Rutland.
By the will of his grandfather, Deacon Joseph Newton", he received the home-
stead and all remaining lands of his grandfather, on condition that he take
care of the widow, as specified. This trust I suppose he fulfilled. From his
father's will he received ten shillings.
Mr. Newton moved from Marlborough between 1736 and 1740 and was in Rut-
land from 1740 till 1745, and perhaps longer. In 1765 a part of Rutland was
included in the new town of Paxton, and he may have been set off to Paxton.
Bo that as it may, he describes himself as "of Paxton" in his will. He there
mentions only his four older children; the two younger may have died young.
He makes careful provision for his wife and for his son Jazzaniah, who seems
to have been physically, and perhaps mentally, not quite competent.
The estate of Jazzaniah Newton could not have been large at the date of his
death, if we consider the small amount of the bond given by his executor. His
estate consisted of farm lands, tools and stock, buildings and money; the money
not available at once but to be distributed within a time limit. His second
son, Jonah. — the name is also Jonas on the records — is given everything after
the death of the mother, who has a life interest, and is made sole executor of the
will. The following is the list of papers in the case, and the will.

but, from the mention in the inventory of his estate of implements in other lines
of endeavor, he must have been much more — carpenter's tools, a right in a saw-

tate and his widow administered the estate. All of the papers of administration
are so very interesting, I will be pardoned for giving them so much room.
In the assent of the heirs of Joseph Newton'', father of Uriah'', both Uriah
and his brother Jazzaniah sign their names for themselves — both bold signatures.
Uriah iSTewton, Sr., had probably received his portion during the lifetime of
his father, and is given in the will only a slight token of remembrance — "Item.
I give to my Second son Now Living Viz Uriah Newton my Little Iron kittle."
Among the partners in the Land Bank of 1740 we find the name of Uriah
Newton of Marlborough.
Uriah Newton died intestate and his estate was settled by administrators
appointed by the Court. The papers in the case are many, but all will be inter-
esting to his posterity, and are therefore given here. All of the papers were

Shrewsbury, Mass., March 27, 1754, Stephen Choat. A family by the
name of Choat was in Ipswicli as early as 1G50. Stephen Choat and wife
Bathsheba had four cliiklren in Sln-ewsbury, namely :
4282. 1. Patience" Choat, b. Jan. 10, 175.5.
4283. ' 2. William' Choat, b. Feb. 15, 1757.

G4th year. G. S. 1. She was present at court, June 29, 1761, at the
settlement of her father's estate, and signified her satisfaction in the
manner of the settlement. For some reason not shown, but probably for
her satisfaction, she is given real estate, mostly, as her portion ; it, how-
ever, being equal to that of the other children. She was then aged 25.
She married, then of and at Athol, Mass., Dee. 13, 1709, John How, son
of . AVhere they settled is unknown to me — but stayed not long
in Marlborough. They had a son born at Templeton — probably other
children somewhere else.

Silas Marble, son of [prob.] Mary and Marble, whom she had
baptized at Marlborough, Oct. 25, 1741. C. R. After their marriage
Katherine and Silas Marble lived in, or near to, Athol, Mass., where they
had nine children baptized, probably soon after the birth of each. Kather-
ine's portion of her father's estate was the same as the others, in money,
"tifteen pounds seventeen Shillings and three pence & y^ of a penny:"
Her children were :
4287. 1. Ahijah" MarWc, bapt. Sept. 7, 1700; d. Sept. 17, 1708.

4"27S. viii. Jonas', b. April 0, 1744. As will be seen above, he chose Mr. Daniel Ward
to be his guardian, and received his portion of his father's estate.
While it does not seem as if this Jonas Newton could be the one referred
to, there was no other Jonas living who was a "child" in 1756. The
Worcester County Warnings has : "Warned from Southborough, Sept. 25,
1756, Jonas Newton, a poor child from Marlborough, now at W™.
Onthanks." Warrant returned May 16, 1757.
.Jonas, also given Jonah, Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. He
was a minuteman. private in the company of Captain William Brigham
( Marlborough ) . Col. Jonathan Ward's regiment, of Militia, which
marched, April 19, 1775, to Cambridge, served nine days. Also his name
is on a receipt given to Capt. Silas Gates for travel allowance from
Albany home, dated at Marlborough. March 14, 1777. There are other
accounts, and service in other companies, the last date being May 15, 1780.
He was one of the first three years men — or "during the war." He prob-
ably received at least some of the bounty offered by the town. Whether
he married or not I cannot say, nor when he died. He may have been the
Jonas Newton in Hubbardston, in 1790, which the Umited States Census
gives as a family of one male above sixteen years (himself), one male
below sixteen years, and two females.

"minors from Marlborough," was warned from Lancaster, May 28, 1764,
and the warrant returned to court, Aug. 21, 1704. [Perhaps she married
at Marlborough, Nov. 28, 1708, Nicholas Watts.]

Nahuni Newton lived in Leicester, where five children were born, and he prob-
ably had other children.
In 1737. he, with his brother Joseph and certain other citizens, petitioned the
authorities to have their minister's tax returned to them, should they be set off
as a separate town. The petition was refused. They lived then in the easterly
part of Marlborough.
By his father's will he received "All my Eight in y" Cedar Swamp in West-

Lydia Newton his cousins, children of Mieah Newton. This is an important will.
It estalilishes without a doubt so many relationships.
Joseph Newton* lived in Marlborough. He is mentioned in flie will nf his
father as "my fifth son Joseph Newton, Deceast," and the will was dated 1751.
where he gives "to my grandson Ilezekiah Newton a Two year old Heiffer."
Joseph Newton* had two children. This is shown in the will of his son Heze-
kiah. who mentions first his "Honored Mother," and next his "sister Lydia
Rise," and next his brothers and sister by his mother's second marriage, giving
to each an equal amount. That he names Lydia firet, would indicate she was
the eldest of all. To be so she would have to be the daughter of his father, or
of his mother by a previous marriage. But as Joseph Newton clearly married
Elizabeth Morse, she was not then a widow Eice.

and Abigail ( ) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there Decem-
ber 8, 1722, aiid baptized there April 7, 1723 [C. E-. and T. R]. Lieut. Micah
Newton died at Marlborough, August 21, 1800, aged 78. G. S.
lie married at Marlborough, January 2, 1741-5, Mary Howe, daughter of Peter
and Grace (Bush) Howe" of Marlborough, where she was born April 2, 1726.
She died, "Widow of Lieut. Micah." at Marlborough, February 21, 1813, aged
87 years. G. S.
Micah Newton was the youngest child of his father, in whose will he is men-
tioned as "my fourth son now living," and "my youngest son," and is given
"all my Husbandr.y tools, utensils for making Ropes or my chest with a Lock
and kee too it, and ni.y Gun, all my Cyder Barrell and meet tubs, and a flock
Bead, a pair of Stil.yards, a shave, agures and chesells, a tennant Saw and hand-
saw, and a frying Pan." He was made residuary legatee and "soul Executor."
[See will of Joseph Newton, Jr.] At this time he was about 35 years old, mar-
ried and had six children.
In the French and Indian War, 1757. Sergeant Micah Newton^ was in Capt.
John Weeks' Compan.y of Marlborough men, and with him in the same Com-
pany were his brother Uriah* and two sons of ITriah'*, LTriah'' and David''.
Micah Newton's name appears on the roll of Lieut. Stejihen Maynard's Com-
pany, the same .year, which marched to the relief of Fort William Henry.
In the list of inhabitants and number of i)i)lls in Marlborough, 1770, Micah
Newton is credited with 2 polls.
In the First United States Census, 1790, Micah Newton's family consisted of
himself, one male above sixteen .years, one male below sixteen years, and one
female.
Micah Newton was a prosperous farmer in Marlborough, where his real estate
of home lot and meadow lot amounted to $2,372, and thirty-two acres in the
town of Stow ajiprised at $128. The inventory of his estate is interesting, show-
ing as it does the imidcments for the carrying on of the work both indoors and
outdoors. He made his will five .vears before his death, when he styles himself
"Jentleman," being old and infirm but of perfect mind, etc. The will he signs
with his mark; but where he writes his name himself, as witness to the guar-
dianship of his nephew, Jonas Newton, the hand is tliat of a ready writer. He
mentions all of his then living children, as having already given to each a por-
tion. The older son, Nahum, had removed' with his family to Henniker, N. IL.
and settled there. The onl.y other son of this large family, then living, was

To this son he gives his kinds and makes him executor, giving into his care the
provision made for the widovi'.
His good standing in the First Congregational Church is evidenced in his
having three deacons for appraisers of his estate.
His chiklren were all born at Marlborough, and he seems to have always lived
there. He seems to have been a trusted favorite in his family circle — his other
nephew, Hezekiah Newton, also chose him to be his guardian. And later in his
will, Hezekiah gives "to my uncle Mieah Newton all the remainder of my estate"
and nialces him executor of the will. The will of Micah Newton, inventory of
estate, etc., — seven documents in the settlement of his estate — are here given.
In describing this will, Mr. Brown, who made the copy, says: "This will is
in fine order and on fine rag paper. Page 1 is blank and folded in. The will,
No. 1, and Probate No. 4 in one instrument, the will being attached to the
printed letter. Three pages are needed for the will. Caption on 4th page. While
in many other legal papers ho signs his name himself, in his Will Mieah Newton
makes "his mark" — "being old & Infenu." Document 2, is the citation to the
Widow and heirs. This small paper has been folded several ways, and is written
on both sides — very fine rag paper.
"Document 3, is tJie Assent to probate the will — fine rag paper, single sheet,
about 7 X 8J inches.
"Document 4, is Probate and Order. To son Francis committed the execu-
tion; printed form embossed through the heavy coarse rag paper.
"Document 5, is Bond $30,000, printed. The Will and this Bond were wafered
together, and came apart.
"Document 6, is printed form of Notice and posting of it, by Francis Newton.
"Document 7, is the Inventory ; a single sheet of very fine, thick rag paper,
and brittle, so the folds have in some places been stayed with transparent paper,
about 8 X 13i inches. The Inventory does not use the whole of the sheet at
the bottom, but uses the other side for a J part of sheet and the printed Warrant
of Appraisers appointment is attached.
"You will note that at this time — 1800 — Middlesex Probate Court was held
at Concord, Mass., instead of at Cambridge."

Hunter, son of Edward and Tabitha ( ) Iluntert of Marlborough,
Mass., where he was born Dec. 30, 1748. His sister, Elizabeth, was the
first wife of Archelaus Felton, above. Dr. Hunter moved to Henniker,
N. H. He became a physician and settled there on the place known as
the "Hunter place," about the beginning of the Ilevolution ; after a
while moved back to Marlborough, Mass., for a short time ; returned to
Henniker, N. H., where he died June 29, 1793. The records are obscure
concerning his family. We can only guess who his children were — if there
were any. Since others have guessed, I will take mine — that is : I think
the historian of Henniker has mistaken some of the son's children for the
fatlier"s children. The dates of marriage, and the dates of birth in
ftlarlborough, Ma.ss., would seem to make it .so. I think the following
may. some of them, be the children of Dr. Edward Hunter and wife
Thankful, namely :
4340. 1. John' Hunter (styled "Jr." at marriage, to distinguish him from his
uncle John. b. 1747) : ni. (ll Susan Witt, April 8, 1810. ["He m. (2)

death of Dr." Ebenezer Dexter, May 4, 1769, came from Waltham to
Marlborough and established himself as a physician. They had a family
of ten children, born at Marlborough. His parentage is unknown to me.

FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN
4262. JONAH or JONAS NEWTON'' ( Jazzaiiiah\ Josei)lr\ Josephs Rich-
ard^), son of Jnzzaniah and Delivoreneo (Newton) Newton of Marlboroug'h, Rut-
land and Paxton, Mass., was born at Marlborough, lEareh 24. 1730, and died at
Leicester, Mass., March 12, 1810, aged 80.
He married (1) about 1750, Rebecca , who probably died in Paxton.
She was the mother of five daughters.
He married (2) at Worcester. Mass., May 9, 1803, Mrs. Lydia Johnson, who
became his widow.
Mr. Newton, as a child, moved with his father to Rutland, where he continued
to reside after his tirst marriage, and where his children were baptized. Later
wo find the family in Paxton, where he seems to be his father's right-hand man
on the farm. In 1782 he was executor and residuary legatee of his father's will,
• GOODALB, GOODDEL, GOODDELL, GOODELL, GOODALL, NATHAN GOODALE^, JB., and DiNAH

and came into full possession of the estate after the death of his mother. When
he left Paxton and took up a residence in Leicester does not appear; but at the
date of second marriage — 1803 — he was still "of Paxton," and he died at Leices-
ter. I suppose the following to be his ser^^ice as a soldier of the Revolution :
"Jonas Ne\vton, First Lieut, in Capt. Ralph Earl's 17th (Paxton) Co., Col.
Samuel Denny's (1st. Wore. Co.) Regiment, reported commissioned April 5, 1776.

Uriah, Sr., and Patience (Newton) Newton of Marlborough, Mass,, was born
there May 17, 1736. He died at Princeton, Mass., April 25, 1805. P. R.
He married at Marlborough, February 10, 1761, Hannah Eager, daughter of
Uriali and Sarah (Brigham) Eager* of Marlborough, where she was born
December 29, 1741. She died at Princeton, July 2, 1782.
• William Bageri m. Rdth Hill at Maiden, in 1659. He came to Marlborough before
1682, with his second wife. I/Tdia. and died there April 4, 1690. No full record of his
family, though names of eight children are given One son was
He married (2) at. Princettm, Ajn-il 27. 17.SP), Mrs. .loaniui (Gleasoii) (iibbs,
widow of William (iibbs. and daiifi'bter of Phiiiehas and Elizabeth Oleason* of
Framingham and Lancaster, born July 13, 1740. She died at Princeton, "widow
of Uriah Newton," June 28, 1830, aged 90.
Uriah Newton, Jr., was twenty-three years old when his father died intestate.
His mother was made administratri.\. In the settlement of the estate, which
amounted to £363-15-7, it appears the son Uriah, Jr., had received from his father
£23-12-6, which sum was not a gift but was to be considered in the inventory.
After the one-third dower for tJie widow was apportioned, the remaining two-
thirds of the real estate was portioned to Uriah, Jr., and his sister Hannah, he
to pay the other heirs, and this to be acconi]ilished and completed on or before
April, 1762. It would appear that he sold the land for that purpose.
Uriah Newton. Jr., did not remain long at Marlborough after the estate of
his father was closed up. He married there in 1761; but in the autumn of 1763
he was in Rutland, and Rutland District (Barre) until after 1766. In 1768 one
child was bbrn at Wilbraham, Mass., although his family may not have lived in
that town. From 1772 until his death, Princeton, Mass., was his home town.
During this period ho spent some time at Alstead, N. II., where his sons had
settled.
His name in the John White Genealogy is given "Uriah Eager Newton." I
find it so nowhere else.
Notice that he signs his own name to the guardianship pajiers of his brother
Jonas — "Uriah Newton."
In the French and Indian War, 1757, in Captain John Weeks' Marlborough
Company are the names of Uriah Newton'', Jr. ; his father, Uriah Newton* ;
brother David'^, and uncle Micah* Newton.
Uriah Newton'', Jr., was a soldier of the Revolution — a minute man. Ilis name
appears on the rolls as of "Princeton. Private in Capt. Boaz Moore's Company,
Col. Ephraim Doolittle's regiment, which marched on the Alarm April 19, 1775,
service 11 days." [Mass. Sol. and Sail, of Rev. War, Vol. XI, p. 407.]
The First United States Census, 1790, shows Uriah Newton head of a house-
hold at Princeton, Mass., the other members being one male above sixteen years
and six females.
All of his children, except Ephraim, deceased, are mentioned in his will, an
abstract of which follows :

Mass. She was boni at Leicester, May 4, 1745 [T. R.] or 1741. Her headstone
in Paxton, Mass., bears the following inscription: "In memory of | Mrs. | Miriam

Nahum and Tabitha (Sanderson) Newton of Leicester, Mass., was born there
February 27, 1751. He died at Brooktield, Mass., December 8, 1817.
He married [int. at Brookfield, March 19, 1774], Sarah Howard, born about
1747. She died his -widow, at Brookfield, Mass., October 28, 1824, aged 77.
Jotham Newton settled in Sturbridge. Mass., after his marriage, and lived
there a few years. His first three children were born there. About 1780 he
moved to Brookfield, Mass., where the births of three more children are recorded.
Wliether there were others is unknowm to me. [I thought perhaps Tilly Newton
might be his son, but have no proof of it.]
In his will (an abstract is given below), Mr. Newton mentions only four
children. The oldest probably died very young, and the youngest we know died
before he did. Th-us he would speak of Jotham, Jr., as his oldest son, and
Foster as second son.
Jotham Newton was a soldier of tlie* Revolution. His name appears on several
of the army rolls. The service is as follows : "Jotham Newton. Rutland.
Private in Capt. David Bent's Co., Col. Nathaniel Sparhawk's regiment of
Minute men. marched April 20, 1775. to Cambridge, served six days. Other
service and return dated in Camp at Winter Hill, Oct. 6, 1775. Also, Jotham
Newton, Private in Capt. John Howard's company. Col. Samuel Brewer's regi-
ment. Abstract of allowance from Saratoga home (188 miles). Warrant allowed
March 2, 1777. Also, Jotham Newton on a list of men mustered Augttst 18 — ,
by Thomas Newhall — Worcester County — to serve six months in Capt. Wilsoii's
corhpany. Col. Ke.ves regiment."

The First United States Census, 17i)0, shows no Jotham Newton head of a
household in all the country, although this Jotham was living, had wife and
children and another child was bom in 1791. The census-taker missed him.
He had a farm in Brookfield, Mass., when he died, which he had improved with
the assistance of his son Foster, indicating that he had resided there for some
time. This land he gives by will to son Foster; the other children probably had
previously received their shares.

4301. NAHUM NEWTON-', JR. [I suppose to be the son of Nahum^
(Joseph-', Joseph-, Richard') and Tabitha (Sanderson) Newton of Leicester,
Mass.] married Anna . Where and when and the record of it I have not
learned, nor where they lived when their four children were born. But certain
it is that, in 1778, Nahum Newton, wife Anna, -with four or five children from
Southborough, Mass., were warned from Northborough, Mass., notice given to
the selectmen by Deacon Paul Newton. The selectmen made no haste in the
matter, for the warrant was not returned to the court until September 9, 1790,
by which time he had evidently obtained citizenship, for we find him there again
later — that is to say, I suppose him to be the same man. Neither his own death,
nor the death of Anna, his wife, are recorded in Northborough or nearby towns ;
but we find that Nahum Newton married at Marlborough, May 6, 1778 — (notice
that it is the year he came to Northborough and was "warned") — Damaris
Brigliam, daughter of Noah and Miriam (Allen) Brigham* of Marlborough,
where she was born April 24. 1759. She had one child and died his widow, Jan-
uary 31, 1828, aged 70 years, 9 months. Mr. Newton is styled yeoman in the
warning. [See Nathan Newton (Joshua).]

4327. NAHUM NEWTON^ (Micali*, Josei>lr\ Joseph^, Riehardi), son of
Micah and Mary (Howe) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there. Feb-
ruary 12, 1752, a twin witli liis sister Lucy. He died at Hennilier, N". H., March
20, 1816, aged 64.
He married at Marlborough, Mass., January 29, 1777, Mercy Adams.* She
died at Henniker, ISf. H., August 2, 1839.
It interests me to notice the many eases in which, when a man had been a
soldier in the Revolutionary service, he did not settle down in the home town.
His horizon had been enlarged, and he sought out new lands to conquer. Thus
Nahum Newton moved with his family to Henniker, N. H., soon after his mar-
riage and shortly after tlie incorporation of the town, and settled on land where
his grandson, John A. Newton, was living in 1880. He was the first settler in
that part of the town. His children were all bom in Henniker. The First
Census of the United States, 1790, gives his family there, as consisting of him-
self, three males un<ler sixteen .years, and four females.
Nahum had reeeivefl before the death of his father, his portion. Thus Micah
in his will, dated 1795 : "2'>'. My Will is as to my Son Nahum Newton what I
have all ready given him and half of my wearing apparrel and one Dollar to be
his full part and portion of my Estate both Real & Personal ."
Nahum Newton^ was a soldier of the Revolution. His name is on the rolls
first, as from Marlborough. "Private Capt. Daniel Bams' Company, marched
on alarm April 19, 1775. Newton marched April 27 — service 12 days.
"Also. Private, list of men on picket under Loammi- Baldwin, dated ^lay
11, 1775.
• AD.1MS. The History of Henniker, N. H., pg. 440, has the following in regard to families
of this name : They were "some of the earliest settlers and most enterprising.^ The families
here were descended from Richard Adams, a tailor, who was at Salem, Mass.; in 1638, and
In Newbury. Mass.. in 1640; emigrated from Devonshire. England; wife was Eleanor, who
died June 11^, 1677.
Capt. Aaron Adams (son of Israel), h. at Rowley. Mass.. IT.TO ; wife Betsey; settled here
soon after the town was incorporated ; distiller ; Rep. 1788-'Oi; ; selectman. 177:)-'75. and
1786; commissioned Lieut, of 8th Co.. loth Regiment, regular New Hampshire Militia. March
1. 1774 ; died March 14, 1819. His wife died April 27, 1818. Their children, horn at
Rowley, Mass., were: Gideon. 1764; MoseK. 1766; William, 1760; children born at Henniker,
N. H., were: Stephen. 1774; Jamen, 1774 (twin); Aaron, 1777; Oeorge, 1784; Betsey,
1786. It is very probable that Mercy Adams, who married Nahum Newton, is somehow
related to these people. I suggest it.

A grandson of Nahum Newton' (Nahum Newton' Wilson) writes: "My
grandfather, Nahum Newton, was a heavy, thick-built man ; about 5 feet 8
inches tall ; broad shouldered ; fair complexion ; sandy hair and nearly red beard ;
large blue eyes; high tempered; of English descent and a powerful worker."
The following story is told of Mary (Howe) Newton, wife of Micah*, and
mother of Nahum=. Told by Delia' Clark. "Three of Mrs. Mary Newton's chil-
dren died near each in time from Jan. 22 to March 4, 1777. She says she can
well remember of hearing her great-grandmother say, that a short time before
their deaths, she saw the traj) door to the cellar open and shut three times of
its own accord, and thought that it was a forerunner of the deaths of lier three
children."

SIXTH GENEltATION AND CHILDREN
4383. JONATHAN NEWTON" (TTriah-', Uriah*, Joseph', Joseph^, EichardM,
son of Uriah, Jr., and Hannah (Eager) Newton of Marlborough, Rutland,
Princeton, Mass., and Alstead, N. li., was born at Marlborough, April 27, 1761
[P. R. and T, R.] ; was baptized at Rutland, January 14, 17G2 [C. R.], and
died at his home in Alstead, N. H., September 17, 1828, aged 07 years, 4 months,
20 days, P. R. Burial at East Alstead, N. H.
He married at Princeton, Mass., March 22, 1789, Betsey Brigham, daughter of
Stephen and Betsey (Weeks) Brigham* of Marlborough and Princeton, bom
at the latter town February 5, 1760 ; died at Alstead, N. H., February 6, 1840,
aged 80.
Jonathan Newton" was a soldier of the Revolution, entering the service at the
age of sixteen years. I suppose boys of that age must follow the example of the
fathers when it comes to a chance to fight and shoot. A part of his service only
is here given. "Jonathan Nevpton, Private Capt. Mirrick's Company, Col.
Ephraim Sawyer, entered service October 2, 1777, discharged October 18, 1777,
company raised at Bolton and Princeton — other service — the last date being
December 1779, roll dated at Albany — one month, five days at Claverack — nine
da.vs travel home (180 miles)."
Jonathan Newton moved to Alstead, N. H., not long after his marriage. He
was a pioneer there, and the place was formerly called Newton. His residence
was near the adjoining town of Acworth, N. H., ami his children made Aeworth
their place of residence for a longer or shorter time; but it was at Alstead
that Jonathan Newton always lived, where he died, and where his children were
born. The First United -States Census, 1790, records him at Alstead, N. H.,
with his wife — ["1 female," "including heads of familys"].
It is from his Family Bible Record that much of this data is taken. The
Bible is now the property of his grandson Isaac Newton of Alstead, N, H.

of Uriah, Jr., and Hnanah (Eager) Newton of Rutland and Princeton, Mass.,
was born in Princeton, July 19, 1772, and died in Acworth, N. H.
He married Polly Butterfield, daughter of Benjamin and Polly (Haekleton)
Butterfield* of Acworth, N. H., an original proprietor there. He had Lot No.
15, Range No. 2, and Lots 8 and 9, Range No. 2. Her parents were married
about 1803 and she is mentioned as the oldest child. I have no birthdate.
Joab Newton" came to Acworth, N. H., in 1797. He had for his homestead Lot
No. 5, Range No. 12. His brother Joel" had the same lot. "The Lots seem to
have been large and divided between many owners."
The names of his twelve children are given, but when and where they were
born does not appear; though probably at Acworth, to which town he probably
came soon after his marriage, and where he settled. Notice the first child
was born 1798, and the United States Census of 1790 does not mention a Joab
Newton as head of a household.

Mr. Newton was a farmer in Brimfield. In 1908, his widow "sold the farm
and moved into the Pynchon house," in Brimfield. In 1909, the farm, which
was bought by Edwartl C. Bartlett, was by him sold to Deacon Amasa Stewart
of Blandford, who occupied it.
The family of Mr. Newton did not care to assist me. Therefore I have a
very imperfect and incomplete record of it. The following children are prob-
ably not in their order of birth, and there may be others.

THIRD GENERATION AND CHILDREN
153. DANIEL NEWTON-'. JE. (DanieP, Richardi), son of Daniel, Sr., and
Susanna (Morse) Newton of Marlborough, Mass.. where he was bom May 29,
1681. He probably died in the latter part of 1747, or the beginning of the year
1748. I have no record of his death.
He married about 1704, Sarah , who was the mother of his eight chil-
dren. I find no record of this marriage; neither a record of her death; but
she probably died about 1740, or before.
He married (2) at Southborough, November 26, 1741, Mrs. Mary Mathis.
[Mathis is the same as Mathews.] She died at Southborough, June 29, 1745,
"2nd wife of Daniel Newton, Sr." Ilis father being dead, he now has become
"senior," while his son is junior.
Daniel Newton, Jr., lived in Marlborough. All of his children were born there.
In the record of their births he is styled "Jr."
There was no will, and his son Elzekiel was appointed administrator of his
estate on February 8, 1748. An abstract of the papers of administration follows.
He owned land in Framingham, in the sale of which he calls himself a "tan-
ner," and signs his own name, 172.'5-4.
He received, as a gift from his father, ten acres of land in i\Iarlborough, which
was a part of the grant to Richard Newton, his grandfather, on February 18,
1706. This I suppose was to help settle him after his marriage some two years
before. In this deed he is called "husbandman."
I have not tried to gather all there might be in the Register's office. Just a
paper now and then to prove a point genealogical. See the abstracts of deeds
from Richard' and Daniel-, Sr.. and the one below.

156. ISAAC NEWTON\ SR. (DanieP, Richard'), son of Daniel, Sr., and
Susanna (Morse) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there March 12, 1686,
and died in Southborough, Mass., February 11, 1754.
He married at Boston, Mass.. March 20, 1716, Sarah Belknap, daughter of
Ebenezer and Hannah (Ayer) Belknap§ of Haverhill, Mass., bom December 2;>,
1691. It is asserted b.y the family, as given in a note on page 586 of the History
of Marlborough. N. H., that Capt. "Seth Newton's mother died at the age of
106, and his grandmother at tlie age of 112."'
Isaac Newton, Sr., lived in that part of Marlborough that was set off to South-
borough. The births of his first tive children are recorded in the former town
and the last four in the latter town — while they may all have been born in the
same house.
He was among those citizens of Marlborough who petitioned for the organi-
zation of the new town of Sotithborough, which was incorporated in 1727, and
continued to reside there.
Isaac Newton of Southborough was one of the partners in the Land Bank
scheme of 1740, through which the colonists sought to protect themselves from
the tyranny of Parliament, and which was suppressed after a time.
The will of Isaac Newton, Sr., is dated June 13, 1751, in which he calls him-
self of "Southborough, husbandman." He gives to his wife, Sarah, and the
following children : Hezekiah, Seth, Isaac, Simeon, Keziah, Mary, Martha.
He mentions Hezekiah as his "eldest son," and Simeon as his "fourth son,"
Keziah as "eldest daughter," and daughters Mary Graves and Martha Gibbs,
and makes his son Seth the executor of the will. The following intention from
the will : "As to my eldest son, Hezekiah Newton, I have given him already
great part of his portion, but I will give, grant to him, his heirs and assigns,
twent.y pounds to be paid seven years after my decease." As Isaac himself did
not die until three years after he made his will, poor Hezekiali had to wait ten
years for his £20.

504 NEWTON GENEALOGY
157. EPITEAIM NEWTON^ (DanieP, RicliardO. son of Daniel. Sr., and
Susanna (Morse) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was bom there February 12,
1689, and died at Leicester, Mass., about the latter part of February, 1761.
He married at Marlborough, Mass., May 29, 1710 [1711 T. K..], Christian Eip-
ley, daughter of George and Sarah ( — ) Ripley* of Marlborough, where she
was born February 27, 1689. She was living May 11. 1702, when as a widow
from Lancaster she was warned from Rutland. The warrant was not returned
to the Court. Perhaps she was the Widow Kewton who died in Boylston,
October 2, 1780.
Ephraim Newton lived in Marlborough, in the part that was set off to South-
borough. Thus his first seven children were bom at Marlborough and the next
two at Southborough. It would appear that about the beginning of 1730 he
moved to Leicester, where he settled and lived the remainder of his life, and
where his youngest child was born. Of his large family only one son became
adult.
The following documents from the Probate Court explain themselves. The old
people probably lived by themselves with their unmarried daughter, Mary, whose
will shows she had died a short time before her father died of snuillpox. The
queer spelling of Mr. William Martin in his account for service is not so bad
after all, for those times — and the account is interesting.
After reading the papers in administration of his estate, it will be seen that
the family of Ephraim Newton were in a bad way, with three of tliem down with
smallpox, at the time of his death. What, with the amount of "Kum and
Shugor" consvunod and the numerous "tending on yow" by the "several
persons for nursing," one can imagine the poor widow Christian was not in con-
dition to undertake the settlement of the bills. There seems to have been no real
estate.

158. ABRAHAM NEWTON^ (DanieP, Eichnr(P), son of Daniel and
Susanna (Morse) iSTewton of Marlborougli, Mass., was bom there, March 2, 1691,
and died at Ilolden, Mass., before May 13, 1742.
He married at Marlboronsh, October 20, 1709, Racliel Newton (190), daugh-
ter of John and Hannah (Morse) Newton of Marlborough, where she was bom
May 17, 1694. She died, probably, in Sunderland, Mass. May 13, 1742, she was
appointed administratrix of her husband's estate, at which time she would be
58 years old. You will notice that two of Mr. Newton's nieces had settled in
Sunderland; also that his son had married Sarah Graves. These facts lead me
to think this is the "Widow Rachel Newton," who married, April 8, 1754, as his
second wife, Noah Graves'* (SamueP, John-, ThomasS from England), bom
1695 ; died 1773, one of the first settlers of Sunderland.
Mr. Newton resided in, and his lands were in, that part of Marlliorough that
was set ofF to Southborough. Thus the records show the first three children to
have been born at Marlborough, the fourth and sixth to have been baptized there.
The fifth and last three were bom at Southborough.
Mr. Newton bought land in Holden and removed to that town to reside between
1735 and 1742, the date of his death. Moses Leonard, one of the sureties in the
administration of his estate, had married Mercy Newton', cousin of Abraham',
and o^vned lands in Rutland.
The following abstract of the administration of his estate is interesting, show-

510 NEWTON GENEALOGY
Mr. Newton lived in Marlborough-Southborough, Mass. His sons Lemuel and
Samuel, Jr., were born at Marlborough. The record of his family is imperfect,
and there may have been other children.
He and his brother Nathaniel bought from their fatlier, Daniel Newton, Sr.,
all the "lands I am now possessed of," interest in Gristmill, personal property,
etc.. jointly, giving in consideration, money and l)onds. See tlie deeds given
under liis heading. There is no record of the settling of Samuel Newton's estate
in Probate Court.

Susanna (Morse) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there September 4,
1697, and died at Southborough, Mass., June 14, 1749.
He married at Marlborougli, May 18 or 23, 1720, Abigail Tozer, twin daughter
of Simon and l^fary ( ) Tozer of Weston, Mass., where she was born July
26, 1701. She and their oldest son, Richard Newton, were appointed adminis-
trators of Nathaniel Newton's estate in 1749. When she died, I have not found.
Her sister married Samuel Newton^, brother of her husband [which see], ilr.
Newton apparently lived in that part of Marlborough that was set oflF to South-
borough, thus his three eldest children were born at Marlborough and all the
others at Soutliborough.
On October 17, 1722, their father, Daniel Newton, Sr., in two deeds, conveyed
to his two sons, Nathaniel and Samuel Newton, jointly, all his personal estate;
cattle, horses, sheep and swine; all tools for husbandry and utensils for house-
keeping; all lands and grants from the township of Marlborough; all his inter-
est in the gi'istmill at Stony Brook. This, "in Consideration of a valuable sum
of money," and another "Consideration of a valuable sum of money and bonds
for my subsistanee." See the abstract of deeds given under Daniel Newton,
Sr.=. Thus it would seem that the brothers came into possession of their father's
homestead. At his death, Natlianiel Newton had a one-fourth interest in the
gristmill. An abstract of the administration of the estate of Nathaniel Newton
of Southborough is here given :

1705.
He married at Framingham. Mass., December 12, 1728, Sarah Hudson [writ-
ten "Hutson" in the record, an instance of their queer spelling in those times.
Also the name Daniel is given "David," but there was no David then living
who could have married in Massachusetts in 1728.
This wife Sarjih had two children that are recorded in Southborough and there
may have been others.
Daniel Newton and Sarah Lawrence married in Southborough, December 25,
1745, I suppose to be a second marriage of Daniel Newton*. Where they lived
or where they died is unknown to me.
Daniel Newton was a soldier in the French and Indian War, in 1758 and in
1759, from the town of Marlborough. He may have been then resident of Marl-
borough. He would have been 54 years old at the last date.

He was a farmer in that town. He was appointed administrator of his father's
estate in 1748. ,

In the French and Indian War, in 1757, his name appears among the list of
"Alarm men" attached to the Company of Capt. Jonathan Weeks, organized in
Marlborough. The older men, or those otherwise exempt, were organized into
"alarm lists," to be ready for any emergency at home while the younger men
marched as occasion required. William Newton would be about 46 years old at
this time.
The United States Census, 1790, gives William Newton of Marlborough, head

sixteen years, and two females.

4848. v. William'-, b. May 13, 1745; d. at Marlborough, March 2, 1821, aged 76.
He was a farmer in Slarlborough. and never married. His sister lived
with him and survived him twenty-one years. His estate was distributed
among his sisters and their heirs, in the manner set forth in the legal
docimients given below. I am indebted to these papers for much in com-
piling a record of this family. The papers in settlement of the estate are
many; but all are interesting, as illustrating the manner of those times.
The many names of persons then living there, as well as tlie traced auto-
graphs, are well worth preserving. In the twent.v-four legal papers there
is much printed matter which is here left out as usual and unimportant.
The size, condition, material and general appearance of the papers, as
described by the copyist, is all very interesting. I make no apology for the
space given to them.
J David Stockwell married M.iucY ; resided in Sutton, where they had two chil-
dren h(irn and five cliildron baptized. He m. (2) at Sutton, March 11. 1745. Rebecca
McClalla-x. and had two other children bapt. the same day. The children were : Jeremiah
and Joseph, 1731; I'Jiiliruim, 1733; Mary, 1735; John, bapt. Nov. 13, 1737; Abigail, 1741;
Erens, 1742; and last, David and James, bapt. May 14, 1750.
There were many families ot Stockwell in Sutton. The oldest of all was Capt. John
Stockwell. who died "March i;'.), 177S, aged almost 91 years. Old age." I suppose his
wife was Mary. They had a son NatJuniiel, h. 1720. I suppose the John, Jr., was his son.
Said John, Jr.. m. (1) 1730. Margaret Smith (two children) ; m. (2) Lydia Elliot (five chil-
dren) : m. <;'») Lydia King. 1740 [and per. (4) Abigail]. This John, Jr., and 2d wife had
a son, .Tohn. h. Mar<'h 0. 1740. wlio may have been "John 3d" but it seems to me the son
of David I above) was "John 3d," lieing born first.

and Sarah (Belknap) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there July 28,
1719. lie died at Paxton, Mass., February 4, 1786, in his 67th year. His grave-
stone in Paxton cemetery is inscribed :
"Death is a debt to Nature due
Which I have paid & so must you."
He married at Southborough. Mass., September 8, 1742, Eunice Brigham,
daughter of Lieut. Nathan and Dinah (Rice) Brigham* of Marlborough-South-
borough. She was born at Marlborough, October 4, 1721, baptized at the church
there November 19, 1721. (The baptisms of both Eunice and her sister Dinah
are recorded as daughters of "Nathaniel, Jr.") She died, and an administrator
was appointed for her estate January 7, 1792. See below.
Hezekiah Newton lived several years after his marriage in Southborough;
the first three of his children were born there. The fourth child was bom at
Leicester, and he probably lived there at the time, as he is described as of Lei-
cester in a deed dated December 27, 1748 [see Deed Book 27, pg. 287, at Wor-
cester, Mass.], by which Nathan Brigham conveys to him a tract of land in
Rutland. This land seems to be what became the family home, to which he
moved between 1748 and 1751, and the next six children were born in Rutland.
On February 12, 1765, a part of Rutland was included in the new town of Pax-
ton, after which date he is spoken of as "Hezekiah Newton of Paxton," where
he became a man of property and influence. Two more children were born to
him there and the older of the two baptized in the Rutland church, showing he
still held his membership there in 1765.
The following from the will of his father shows that he did not leave his
father's home at age with empty hands : "'As to my eldest son Ilezekiali Newton
I having given him already great part of his portion, but I will give, grant to
him, his heirs and assigns twenty pounds, to be paid seven years after my
decease."

524: NEWTON GENEALOGY
Mr. Newton's lands in Paxton were high but level and covered many acres.
Wachusett Mountain, not many miles away, was in full view. Here he built his
first home-house. The house has disappeared ; the foundations of it are in place,
now covered with grassy mounds and shrubbery. Some of the first out-build-
ings are still in use. A grand old elm near the site of this house bears a marker
with the words, "The true central tree of Worcester Co."
Later Mr. Newton built on another part of the farm another house — more pre-
tentious and more suitable to the numbers and needs and means of the family.
This second house is still in good condition and is inhabited.
Mr. Newton owned land in Royalston ; a deed for which bears the signatures
of his then living children and is in possession of his descendants. This is, I
suppose, the 100-acres inventoried as "real estate in Eoyalston" in the settle-
ment of his estate. He left no will and his son Silas Newton was appointed
administrator of his estate. The papers in the case are here listed. An appeal
to the Court, giving the reasons for it. is here given in full. This is particularly
interesting on account of the name of the youngest son, "Bonter Newton a minor
under the age of twenty-one years." The officer of the Court who copied this
for me states that the name is clearly every time "Bonter," whereas the son
clearly signs his name to a deed in 1792 as Baxter. I am inclined to think
Baxter is what the otlier is intended to spell.
This old deed is dated June 9, 1792, and conveys real estate with buildings
thereon, of Hezekiah Newton of Paxton, to Silas Newton of Paxton, it being
the widow's thirds of Hezekiah Newton's estate; for the consideration of £20
to each heir; is signed by the heirs. The number of acres is not given. Those
signing are: Edmund Newton, Persis Estabrook, Mehitable Lamb, Ruth Stew-
ard, Nathan Brigham Newton, Eunice Davis, Elizabeth Richardson, Catherine
Craigie, Baxter Newton, Hezekiah Newton, Jr.

live with her son by her first marriage, Jonah Harvey, in Southborovigh, where
she died January 23, 1837, aged nearly 96. An abstract of her will and a list
of the administration papers are given herewith. The many names given in this
will are helpful in verifying the data obtained from other sources regarding
this family.
Capt. Setli Newton was about nineteen years old when his father made his
will in 1751, and about twenty-two years old when he presented that will in
Court and was appointed executor of it, the other heirs who were present assent-
ing, in 1761. He seems to have been a person in whom others could put trust
with safety, even in his early manhood. This is instanced also in his being
made an officer of the "Train Band" when about twenty-five years old.
When, where and to whom Capt. Seth Newton was married the first time,
or where he spent the years of this man-ied life, does not yet appear. He seems
to have been in touch with Southborough all through his army life, and prob-
ably was married somewhere near 17G0. After his second marriage he seems to
have lived the remainder of his life at Southborough, and his two youngest sons
were born there. He may have had other children by his first wife, but only
Martha, Luther and Simeon are mentioned in his will. Notice that his sec-
ond marriage did not occur until after the Eevolutionary War was over.
Seth Newton was a member of the Southborough militia under Captain Tim-
othy Brigham, in 1757, and a Con^oral in the "Train Ban<l" under the same
captain in the same year. — Mass. Archives.
Seth Newton was Captain of the Eighth (Southborough) Company of the
Si.xth Worcester County regiment of militia, in a list; of officers chosen in said

An account of the Ratification of the Constitution of the United States by
the Convention of the Connnonwealth of Massachusetts convened at Boston on
the ninth day of January, 1788, and continued until the seventh day of Febru-
ary, was printed in the Massachusetts Gazette of February Sth, 1788, at Boston.
It gives me pleasure to note that Capt. Seth Newton of Southborough was a
member of that convention and was one of the majority who voted "Yea." 187
yeas, 168 nays, majority of 19. The whole account, the jubilation of the City
of Boston, the next day. is pleasant reading.
In the First United States Census, 1790, occurs the name of Seth Newton,
head of a family consisting of (himself counted) four males above sixteen years,
two males below sixteen years, and three females. By looking closely at the dates
of births and marriage of his own, and his wife's children by her previous mar-
riage, it is not difficult to imagine who the several persons were.
In several references to him, as also in the record of his death, he is stylwl

The "Old records of the Church of Christ" of Berlin, Vt., a.s published
in the Genealogical Department of the Boston Transcript, state that in
1794 two children of Elisha Taplin died in Berlin, and that in 1795 Elisha
Tapliu himself died there. Family tradition states that he was killed
by a fall from a horse, or was kicked by a hor.se and died as the result.
"The land records of Berlin, Vt., show that in Aug. 1792. Elisha Taplin
bought quite a tract of land there, his residence being given as Corinth;
but before his death he had sold all of this and left no real estate.

will, in 1708. tlii.s youngest son was about thirteen years old; when the
will was probated in 1807, he was about twenty-two years old. Thus it
would seem that, being brought up by so patriotic a father, he might have
turned out to be a more conscientious man. The following is given me
by a descendant of Capt. Seth Newton : "This I'eter Bent Newton dis-
appeared suddenly from Southborough and no one there ever knew where
he went to or what became of him. It is said he was a counterfeiter, and
that the government sought his apprehension, and hence he fled after
burying his dies and plates." As per the will of his father, he received
an e(iual share with his brother, Seth, of all the real estate within the
town of Southborough, their mother having a life interest in one-third of
it. His mother does not mention him in her will, which was allowed
March 7, 1837. Whether he married or not does not appear.
4733. SIMEON NEWTON-* (Isaac\ DanieP, RicharcP), son of Isaac, Rr..
and Sarah (Belknap) Newton of Marlborough-Southborough, Mass., was born
at Southborough, March 25, 1735, and died at Holliston, Mass., February 24,

lie married at Holliston, February 11, 17C2, Jerusha Marsh, born about 1741,
who died his widow in Holliston, September 23. 1835, aged 94. C. R. Burial
beside her husband. Gravestone. I do not find her birth and parentage. How
Eeuben Marsh is an "heir at Law" of Simeon Newton is a mystery to me. The
532 NEWTON GENEALOGY
onlj' one of that name I liave seen is the marriage at Stnrbridgc, 1779, of
Reuben Marsli and Tryphena Harding.
Simeon Newton seems to have lived all of his married life at Holliston, and
there his six daughters were born and several of them lie buried. At the taking
of tlie United States Census, 1790, he was the head of a family consisting of,
besides himself, one male below sixteen years, and six females, at Holliston.
Mr. Newton was a farmer, and from the inventory mention of "Coopers Tools
and Timber." we may infer that he did something at the cooper's trade as well.
He died intestate and his estate was administered by his son-in-law, who was
appointed administrator. The following papers in administration of it — four in
number — are interesting, and are given in full. •

born at Marlborough, April 15, 1715. lie died at Shrewsbury, Mass., in 1751
or 1761. See below.
He married at Marlborough, Mass., January 23, 1735-6, Thankful Stow, daugh-
ter of Samuel, Jr., and Sarah (Snow) Stow* of Marlborough, where she was
born April 30, 1711. She died, his widow, at Shrewsbury, Mass., March IS, 1769.
"A. 60." [Does not reckon out right.]
Nahum Newton lived in Marlborough a few years after marriage. One son,
who appears to be his only child, was born there. Later he removed to Shrews-
bury, Mass., where he lived in quite the south part of the town. He was living
March 6, 1761, at which dat« he declined to take the administration of his
father's estate, and signed the release of the same to his mother.
The homestead that he founded in Shrewsbury remained in the possession of
his descendants through four generations, passing down to his son, Jonathan^,
to Isaac", Chester V.', Walter T.^ when, before 1907, it was sold.
Nahum Newton died intestate, and his widow. Thankful Newton, was
appointed administratrix October 2S, 1751. An abstract of administration fol-

He married at Southborough, November 5, 1735, Sarah Graves.
Abraham Newton, as eldest son, received two shares (double portion) of his
father's real estate, equal to £39-10, his mother being appointed administratrix.
What became of the family is not clear. Wliat evidence there is would indi-
cate that they moved to tlie westward — Connecticut river valley. He may have
been tlio Abraham Newton at the battle of Bennington, in the 1st company of
militia, Vermont Revolutionary rolls. Old men and boys were engaged those
days.

ham and Rachel (Newton) Newton of Marlborough and Ilolden, Mass., was
probably born at Marlborough, though not recorded there, about 1721 ; died at
Paxton before April 5, 1776, when his estate was probated.
He married at Leicester, Mass., March 8, 1758, Jemima Fay, daughter of — [I
suppose she was the widow of David Fay of Marlborough, who ''settled in that
part of Leicester that became Paxton," married Jemima Newton, daughter of
DanieP (153), and had four cliildren recorded in Leicester, — although I have
no death of David Fay, which probably occurred in Paxton, after 1754. See
her number (4704)]. This Jemima (Newton) Fay was born at Marlborough
March 26, 1723. She was living at Paxton April 5, 1776, and administered on
her late husband's estate.
Jedediah Newton was more than of age when his father died in 1742 ; because,
only the two youngest children are spoken of as minors, while he assumed the
responsibility of paying the other heirs their shares in money; and to him
was assigned the land in Holden, he giving bond in the sum of £200, with
sureties, for the performance of the trust. See abstract of administration of his
father's estate.
Mr. Newton lived in Paxton. The town was originally a part of Rutland and
Leicester. Holden was once a portion of Leicester, and was iucoiTorated in
1741. Jedediah and Jemima Newton had the following two children born in
Leicester. There were possibly others.
The administration of his estate in the Probate Court is Case No. 43,229.

at Southborough, July 25, 1731, and died at Rutland, Mass., , 1802. There
is no record of the death.
He married at Rutland, May IS, 1758, Hannah Child, daughter of Joshua and
Sarah ( ) Child* of Watertown, Mass., where she was born October 10,
• Dea. Epheaim Child came to America in 1630, and settled in Watertown, where he
was an Important and useful citizen. Representative twelve years ; Selectman fifteen years ;
Town Clerk four years ; he was repeatedly appointed by the General Court on Important
RRANrn OF DANIEL 537
1727. She probably died before ho did, which would be a reason why the ''West-
erly part of the dwelling house," as dower, was not set off from his estate. See
below.
Peter Newton, a younp: man from Holden, was warned from Rutland, Novem-
ber 29, 1757. 1'he warrant was returned to the Court on February 7, 17.58. The
Selectman evidently concluded to let him remain, for he married there the fol-
lowing May and settled in the town for the rest of his life. His children were
born there, and in the settlement of his estate, in 1802, he is styled Peter Newton
of Rutland. He left a will, and the case in Probate is No. 4.3,.3GO.
He was a soldier in the Revolutionai-y War, for a short time. Service: "Peter
Newton. Rutland. Private in Capt. David Bent's Company, Col. Nathaniel
Sparhawk's regiment, marched April 20, 1775 on Alarm to Cambridge, service
six days."
The First United States Census, 1790, shows Peter Newton of Rutland head
of a family with one other male above sixteen years, and three females.

r.RAXCII OF DANIEL 539
4792. LEMUEL NEWTON^ (Samuel'', Daniel-, RieharcU), son of Samuel
and Mary (Tozer) Newton of Marlborough, Mass., was born there March 17,
1718, and died at Southborough, Mass., Septouibor 27, 1793. ('. K.
He married Abigail .
Mr. Newton lived in Southborough, Mass. His children were born there. He
was not the "head of a family" as per the United States Census, in 1790; prob-
ably was living with his children. There is no record of the settlement of his
estate.
Lemuel Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. The Massachusetts archives
show his name on the Revolutionary rolls in the following ser\'ices. Llis son
Winslow^, and his brother, Samuel Newton, Jr.*, were out with him in the same
company and regiment. They were so much younger than he that they served
several enlistments; but at the age of fifty-eight years, Lemuel Newton could
not do more than to show and to satisfy his jjatriotic desire. Abstract of service:
"Lemuel Newton. Private, Capt. Moses Harrington's Company Col. Nicholas
Dike's regiment, mustered Dec. 1776 — Eeb. 1777, regiment to sen^e to March 1,
1777. Credited to the town of Southborough."
His grandson, Asahel Newton, was also a soldier of the Revolutionary War.

and died (I suppose) at Phillipston, Mass., February 9, 1792. C. R.
He married at Southborough, Mass., December 23, 1748, Mary Morse, daugh-
ter of Zachariah and Huldali (Whitney) Morse]: of Southborough and Water-
town, Mass. She was born at Southborough, December 25, 1728.
Mr. Newton resided in Southborough. Ilis children were born there. I sup-
pose he is the Samuel Newton, head of a family in "Gerry" (Phillipston)
mentioned in the First United States Census, 1790. There was no Probate set-
tlement of his estate in Worcester County, ilass. The whole family, head and
all, the Census gives as: 2 males upward of sixteen years, 2 males under six-
teen years, and 3 females.
Samuel Newton, Jr., was a soldier of the Revolution. His name appears on
the Revolutionary rolls many times, and these rolls are to be seen in the IMassa-
chusetts archives. All of the service there given was not performed by this
Samuel Newton, who died in 1792, while one of the others had a longer service
and lived to become a Revolutionary pensioner. This Samuel Newton was forty-
five years old when the Alami at Lexington was sent out. Age made very
little difference in those times; if a man could walk, he "went out" once, any-
how. What I suppose to be the service of this Samuel was :
"Samuel Newton, Southborough, Private, on A Muster Roll of Capt. Elijah
Bellows Company in the Colony Service, marched on Alarm April 19, 1775,
travelled forty-eight miles, served eleven days. Also

Natlianiel and Aliigail (Tozer) Newton of Soutliborougli, Mass., was in Marl-
boroug-li, Mass., May 27, 1722, and died (probably at Westminster, Mass.,
although there is no record of it there) , 1772.
Ho married at Framing-'.iain, JTass., January 27 [1741, ])robably. T. 11. gives
1743, an error], Martha Pike of that town. She dl(^d at Westminster, January
18, 17G7. Eight children.
He married (2) at Marlborough, Mass., April 20, 17GS, Widow Mary Flagg
of Marlborough.
Mr. Newton resided in Soutliborough until after tlie l)irth tliere of all of
his children, when he removed to Westminster, Mass., wliere he settled. The his-
torian of Westminster says of him : "He lived in his native town for some
years, but bought, Marcli 23, 1757, Lot 14, 2d Division, lying west of the Bige-
low farm, where he built a house and made a home. He was chosen 'Sealer of
54-^ NEWTON OKNKALOGV
Leather' at the first meeting of the District of Westminster. The date of his
death is nnlinown, hut it occurred before 1773, in which year his homestead was
sold by the administrator of his estate, Daniel Hoar. He probably had no
children, none being named in the distribution of his property."
In reply to my inquiry as to the practice in the Probate Court, the Register
at Worcester states : "In these earlier cases, it seems to have been the practice
to simply present the will and ask orally to be apjiointed, instead of presenting
a petition in writing setting forth the names, residences and relationship of all
the next of kin, which is now required."
This being the case, the historian is excusable in judging there were no chil-
dren, since the records there showed none. Richard Newton died without making
a will, and his estate was settled by the Administrator appointed by the Court.
The case in Court is listed: "1772. Richard Newton. Westminster. Admin-
istrator. No. 43,377."
That Richard Newton was a patriotic spirit and transmitted the same to his
children, is evidenced in the fact that four of his sons were soldiers in the Revo-
lutionary War; three of them serving many terms of enlistment. The son
Cyprian served thirty-seven months, and Shadraek, three years.
In the procession at the celebration, in 1869, of the one hundredth anniversary
of the incorporation of the town of Westminster — men who tiirned out on the
Lexington Alarm and enlisted for eight months immediately after, were, Alpheus
Newton and Cyiirian Newton, sons of Richard*, at Westminster. [Cyprian is
also written Ziphron.]

estate in the Probate Court up to 1881. There was an Alpheus Newton
liead of a family consisting of. besides himself, two males under sixteen
.vears and three females, at Montgomery, Mass., as given in the First
Thiited States Census of 1790, who may be this man or another Alpheus
Newton not known to me. As a child of thirteen years, and probably on
a visit to his ivlatives, Alpheus Newton from Westminster was "warned"
from Southboroiigh. Oct. 25, 1702, and the warrant returned to the Court,
Nov. 2, 17li2. — So jealous were the towns then of their citizeaship.
As a soldier of the Revolution, his name apiiears on the rolls : "Alpheus

I have no further data in regard to him except as a soldier of the Revolu-
tion,— his name ot-curs on many rolls, not here mentioned. Tlie rolls. were
dated at Peckskill, Highlands, N. Y., Westminster, Mass., and other
places, and in various companies and regiments. The First Roll :
"Ziphron Newton. Westminster. Private, Capt. Edmund Bemis Com-
pany, Col. Asa Whitcomb's regiment, enlisted May 4, 1775, service 3
month 5 da.vs." Also
"Zipron Newton, in Capt. Barnes Company" in a report of James Bar-
rett, muster master, to the Massachusetts State Council of the men he had
mustered and to whom he had paid bounty, dated Concord, April 25, 1777.
The last discharge to Ziphron Newton was given April, 1780. At this
date he would be only 22 years of age. His residence is given Westminster
always. I have no further account of this man unless the name of
Zaphone Newton, Halifax, Windham Co., Vt., head of a family that had
no other members, as given in the First United States Census, 1790,
should be he; and the fact that his brother Shadrach lived there seems
to confirm the idea.

• There was another Shadrach Newton, born July 19, 1783, in Frataingham, son of Jane

on the church records at Framingharn as Shadrack Piite, son of .Tane, bapt. Aug. — , 17R(>.
This Shadrach Newton-Pike died at Framingharn March 7, 18G0.
t The Fassetts came from Scotland. There were several families ol this name early in
Killcrica, Mass. John Fassett was freeman in 1654. Nathaniel Fassett was taxed in Can-
cord in 1666. It is probable the Lexington Fassetts are descended from the Concord or
Killcrica family as they resided near the corner of these towns, their residence being in what
is known as the Page place in Bedford, which was formerly a part of Lexington. [Hist.
Lex., JIass., 186-S, by Chas. Hudson.]
,TosErii Fassett of Lexington owned land at the "Farms," 1699. [Cambridge.] His wife

It will be noticed that this man wrote his name Simon Newton — and not
Simeon as it is frequently given in the records and on the rolls. Jlis grandfather
was Simon Tozer, and the grandson was probably named for him.
I only suppose the marriage at Grafton was a third marriage of this Simon
Newton. I have no proof of it, unless the fact that there seems to be no other
man of the name whom it might have been. I give the item as a pointer — or a
matter for discussion. When one is tracing ancestry, even a point that can be
discarded helps. It is better to speak of what one finds.
I have traced this Simon Newton to many towns. The last account is from
one whose great-gTandmother was his daughter, Lavina, and he says : "I remem-

field, 1790; Sutton, 1796; and perhaps, instead of going to Vermont, that he
went to Westmoreland, Cheshire County, N. H., where his son Hananiah resided.
Simon Newton was a soldier in the French and Indian wars. The History of
Lexington mentions him as being one of twenty-one men who went out from
that town in 1755. The History of Northfield states : "Simon Newton of South-
borough, in Capt. Fay's Company, Col. Timothy Ruggles' regiment, in the
expedition to Ticonderoga and Cro^vn Point, March 31 to December 25, 1759.
Among the sick men left at No. 4 (now Charlestowu, N. H.), November 1759,
was Simon Newton of Southborough.
Simon Newton and his son, Hananiali Newton, were soldiers in the Revolu-
tionary War. The name of the father is given in both spellings, Simon and
Simeon. He served many enlistments not here given, and he seems to have been
one of the first to go and one of the last to quit, notwithstanding his age. I
am always glad to find a "description" of a man on the rolls. It is interesting
to note how much alike these Newtons were as to height, complexion, hair and
eyes. The following items of service as a soldier are enough to show his patriot-
ism:
"Simon Newton. Sudbury. Marched to the Alarm at Concord, April 19,
1775, under Isaac Locker, Captain of the Sudbury troop. Col. James Barrett's
regiment, three days. Also
"Simon Newton, in Capt. Maynard's Company, Col. Ezekiel How's (Fourth
Middlesex Co.) regiment, residence Sudbury, term, during the war." Then fol-
lows much other service, description : "age 48 years, stature 5 feet 10 inches,
complexion ruddy ; engaged for the town of East Sudbury, and arrived at Spring-
field, August 0, 1780" ; (other service) the last discharge, February 8, 1781, nine
days travel home from West Point, N. Y.
After the death of his wife in 1756, it would seem that Mr. Newton went
back to Southborough, from which place he went out in the expedition to Ticon-
deroga in 1759. Returning to Southborough, he married (2) there in the spring
of 1760. They moved sooner or later to Westborough, where two children (twins)
were born in 1704. We next find them in Royalston in February, 1769 ; where
they had two children baptized on the same day, the church records, also, fur-
nishing the death of another child newly born, in 1770, and the baptism of a
last one in 1773. Where these children were born is unknown to me. The family
evidently removed again ; this time to Sudbury, which seems to have been the
residence, and is so given, all through the years of the Revolutionary War,
1775-1782. ■
"Simeon Newton, Brookfield, Worcester Co. Mass. 1-1-3." is the item from
the First United States Census, 1790, which indicates that Simeon Newton was
head of a family there, and had, besides himself, one male under sixteen years
and three females, in his family.
"Simeon Newton of Sutton." married at Grafton, 1794, as above. There is
no settlement of his estate in Massachusetts, Worcester and Middlesex Probates.

baptized there. She married (2) at Lexington. Feb. 21, 17S5, Samuel

"Said Alice Hadley married in a borrowed suit of cloathes." [Thus Mr.

The First United States Census, 17'.I0, shows Hananiah Newton head

three females, at Westmoreland, Cheshire County, N. H.
As a youth and a young man he enlisted as a soldier in the Revolution-
ary War and served many terms of enlistment. 1 give only a few of
them. His name appears on the rolls ijs

Mr. Newton lived in Southborough all his life. His children were born there,
although the birth of the son was not recorded. The First United States Census,

FIFTH GENERATION AND CHILDREN
4820. NEHEMIAII XEWTOX^ (EzekieP, Sr., DanieP, DanieP, Richard^),
son of Ezekiel, Sr., and Tirzah (Newton) Newton of Southborougli, Mass., was
bom there, June 23, 1736.
He married. February 28, 1758, Elizabeth Morse, daughter of Zachariah and
Huldah (Whitney) Morse of Watertown and Southborough, Mass. The only
daughter of these parents named Elizabeth is the one in Southborough, born
June 20, 1731, with no record of her death. The Morse Genealogy gives this
one as having died young, and another of the same name "born in 1733." I
find no record of the birth. Her sister Mary married Samuel Newton*, Jr.
(SamueP), and her brother Joseph married Joanna Newton (Jonathan', Sr.,
Moses").
I suppose Mr. Newton lived at some time in Lancaster. His son, a young
man — a minor — would not be "at his own house" in 1775. I regret that I can-
not find the children of this Mr. Newton. There are several who "might be"
his, but I have no proof. The First United States Census, 1790, shows Nehemiah
Newton head of a household at Winchenden, Mass., the other members of it
being one male under sixteen years and three females.
50G7. i. jEHEMi.\n', ; tlie following is from the Lancaster records: "Jeremiah
Newton, son of Jlr. Nehemiah Newton, being dangerously sick was
baptized August 21, 1773 at his own house, and died, August 23, 1775."
4822. EZEKIEL NEWTON^ (EzekieP, Sr., Daniel-', DanieP, EichardO, son
of Ezekiel, Sr., and Tirzah (Newton) Newton of Marlborough-Southborough,
Mass., was born at Southborough August 14 or 30, 1745, and, according to family
private records, died "December 5, 1792 aged 47." I had supposed he died in the
early part of 1788. See below.
He married Tabitha , born August 14, 1746. P. R.
Of this Ezekiel Newton I am not able to give a perfect record. Where he
was married, the maiden name of his wife, where they lived their married life
as a whole, and where all of their children were born is unknown to me. The
several accounts received from as many of his descendants differ, and do not
in all particulars agree with the town records obtained. Just how many chil-
dren he had is uncertain. I give here all those the family can recall to mind
and the four recorded in the town records of Marlborough, Mass. In the case
of the daughter Caty, I have "supposed." The son Ezekiel was bom in North-
borough, it is said. There is no record there of the birth, but it probably did
BRANCH OF DANIEL 549
occur there, since it is so wiutten by Ezekiel, the son, in his owii Bible, now in
possession of his descendants in Groton, N. Y. The following is further evi-
dence. The birth and death dates of the daughter Betsey I take from the Brig-
ham Genealogy.
Ezekiel Newton was surely at one period of years a resident of Marlborough.
He may have lived in that part that was set off to Westborough. and from West-
borough set off to Northborough. However that may be, at the taking of the
First United States Census. 1790, Ezekiel Newton was head of a family in
Northborough that consisted of. besides himself, one male above sixteen years,
two males below sixteen years, and four females.
His grandson says in a letter to me that Ezekiel was a tailor and died of heart-
failure while measuring a man for a suit of clothes.
The following abstract of administration of the estate of Ezekiel Newton
seems to refer to this Ezekiel, whose youngest child was not born until the April
following this administration. It would seem only natural that his brother Alex-
ander should appear for the widow and small children. Be that as it may, ten-
tatively I place it here.

Daniel and Mary Newton had a daughter born in Southborough in 1772, the
record of which styles him "Jr." After this there is no further mention of him.
Ward says he "went to Vermont." Perhaps he is the Daniel Newton, head of
a household at Putney, Windliam County, Vt., mentioned in the United States
Census, 1790. The household all told consisted of two males upward of si.xtecn
years, three males under sixteen years, and five females. Of this large family I

Silas Newton'^ is usually mentioned as "of Paxton," where he was a well-to-
do farmer, a man of resources. He was about 42 years of age when he was
appointed administrator to settle his father's estate and gave bond in £1,000.
His name appears on several deeds and papers in connection therewith. After his
mother's death he bought the interest of the other heirs in what were her "Wid-
ows thirds," for the payment of £20 to each of them.
At the taking of the First United States Census, 1790, Silas Newton was head
of a family in Paxton, the other members of it being two males above sixteen
years, two males below sixteen years, and five females.
A grandniece of these daughters of Silas Newton^ writes, in 1907 : "My
mother talked of her aunts as if they were more than ordinary ladies — cultured
and refined."

son of Ilezekiah and Eiuiice (BriRliam) Newton of Marlliorous'h, Leicester, Hut-
land and Paxton, Mass., was born at Rutland, .Tune 25, 1755, and died a widower,
of old age, January 6, 1848, aged 92 years, 6 months, 12 days, at Rutland.
He married at Rutland, October 8, 1783, Lucy Coggswell, "both of Paxton."
She died before 1848.
Mr. Newton resided in Rutland. In 1790, the First United States Census
mentions him there, head of a family, the other members of which were four
males below sixteen years and two fenjales. Llis children were born in Rutland.
His estate was administered in 1848. No will. The number of the case in Pro-
bate Court was 43,206.
Hezekiah Newton, Jr., of Paxton, was a soldier of the Revolution. An abstract
of service, in part, reads: "Resides in Paxton, engaged for that town, joined
Capt. Hayne's Company, Col. Wiggleworth's regiment, term, during the war."
Many other notices of him and his service in other companies and musters.

Royalston, Mass., December 18, 1843, aged 84. Old age.
He married "Mary Stewart of Paxton" (a sister of General John Stewart of
Brattleborough, Vt, who married Ruth Newton, sister of Nathan Brigham New-
ton). She was born about 170O, and died at Royalston, Mass., December 18,
1843, aged 84.
Mr. Newton "settled in Royalston, Mass. First on the west bank of the Law-
rence near where Dea. Partridge now lives. He afterward removed and located
on the high lands east of the river where now stands the goodly house and build-
ings of his son. Col. Elmer Newton. He married Mary Stewart and had a family
of twelve children. He became one of the largest land holders. Col. (now Dea.)
Elmer Newton, the only survivor of this large family, with the exception of a
widowed sister, is the present proprietor of this tine estate. This early family
remaining honorably represented and connected with our present population."

550 NEWTON GENEALOGY
Nathan Brigham Newton served in the War of the Revolution, and his name
appears in the list of pensioned soldiers, in the History of Royalston. "Brigham
Newton" on the United States Service Eolls. An abstract of his service is given
in the "Mass. Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War. Boston. 1903,"
under the name "Brigham Newton. Fifer, Capt. Joshua Whitney's Company,
Col. Josiah Whitney's regiment, served July 31, 1778 to Sept. 14, 1778 at Rhode
Island, roll dated at Worcester. Also" — other times and other regiments, last
discharge being October 30, 1780.
A granddaughter writes of Nathan B. Newton and his wife from personal
knowledge of them as follows: "My Grandfather was a thoroughly English New-
Englander. Our grandmother, Mary Stewart, was a stern, thrifty Scotch woman;
and consequently their children had strong wills and steady habits, with good
abilities. The Newton jshysique of our line, is a medium size, firmly built, dark
brown hair, large blue eyes, fair skin with good color, movements quick and
decided, full round voices and many of them fine singers." "When I look at
my grandfather's flute and think how he piped on it in a battle at Long Island
in 1775 when he was fifteen years old, I grow patriotic." "The Spirit of the
patriotic sires docs live in their descendants, as the numerous soldiers of tlie
Newton name in the Civil War fully testifies. The old letters [their family
letters] show interesting things regarding the Indian troubles; their support of
the churches and schools; not evident much as polititians, but true to the party
they joined."
The First United States Census. 1790, shows Nathan B. Newton head of a
family at Royalston, Mass., that besides himself consisted of one male above six-
teen years, four males below sixteen years, and two females.
His children were born at Royalston. His will was probated in 1844, his
description of "Royalston," No. 43,345, case in Probate Court.

fearing her little children would suffer from povert.v. But read the record,

tlieir consorts; and who is styled "Capt." in the Brighajn Genealogy]. The
following is all the family of his descendants, with whnni I have communicated,
know about him: That he came from Massachusetts; "I used to hear him
(Clarke) and his sisters, Mary and Eliza, and other relatives, talking about
relatives and the old days in Massachusetts. Recently I discovered among some
old effects of my grandfather, a very interesting old account book, and book of
interesting odds and ends, and that shows that Edmund and probably his father,
lived in Paxton, Mass. The dates run back to about 1765 and some are as late
as 1803. They seem to indicate that Edmund or his father kept an inn or
general store, as there are many charges for 'grog,' 'rum,' 'tea,' 'leather,' etc.,
together with charges for 'the use of my oxteam for one journey to Marlborough'
and other places in the vicinity. There are many names in the old book I can
remember hearing my grandfather mention." ''My impression is that Edmund's
wife was a Maynard, but I am not positive about that."
Fairly reliable records show that the oldest son was born in 1791 in Worcester,
Mass., and another son was born in 179.3, in New York State, thus it would
seem that he removed between those two dates from ilassachusetts to Oneida
County, N. Y.
- 'J'he First United States Census, 1790, shows an Ednnuid Newton head of a
family at Paxton, Mass., the other members being one male upward of sixteen
years and two females. These others are not necessarily children. They might
have been servants or relatives living with them. He signed the deed alone in
1792 — that is, no wife signed with him, as was customary, if she could be present.
But no speculation will settle any matter — facts are the court of last resort.
The following children of Edmund Newton of Oneida County, N. Y., are known
by the family to have been his, namely:

It really seems as though this family did descend from Edmund', son of Hezekiah

through the several generations, as would be done were w'e sure.

son of (as I suppose) Hezekiah and Eunice (Brigliam) Newton of Marlborough,
Leicester, Rutland and Paxton. Mass., was born, i)roIiably, at Paxton,
about 1770, and "died March 26, 1823, aged 52."
He married .
Dea. Baxter Newton moved some time after his marriage to Vermont, where
he was one of the pioneer settlers of Norwich. His first child here given is said
to have been born in Rutland, whether Massachusetts or Vermont is not stated.
His son is said to have "married his cousin. Flora Newton" [dan. David and
wf. Elizabeth (Partridge)]. Perhaps Dea. Baxter's wife was a Partridge.
In the settlement of his father's estate, Baxter Newton signed deeds of con-
veyance along with his brothers and sisters; and with his sister Katherine
Craigie, appealed from the decision of the Court; he being then (1789) a minor,
was represented by his guardian, David Burns.
At its organization in 1799, the membership of the Baptist Church in Nor-
wich, Vt., contains the name of Baxter B. Newton. This date would indicate
the man, who was, later, "Dea. Baxter Newton."

lie married at Southboroug'h, September 20, 1781, Molle Bruce, daughter of
Elisha, Jr., and Euth (Parnienter) Bruce* of Southboroug'li, where she was born
July 5, 1757. Molle, widow of Isaac Newton, died at Southborough, January
16, 1835.
This Isaac Newton appears to have lived in Southborough ; although the town
records do not show tlie birth of any child, the death of his son Hezekiah is
given. The church record has the death of an infant son, and the death of Eeu-
ben 2d. There is no Probate record of any settlement of his estate.
I am inclined to thiiJi he had other children, and that the Isaac Newton of
Southborough, head of a family there at the taking of the First United States
Census, 1790, was this man. There seems to have been no other to whom the
family of four males below sixteen years and three females could apply. At the
same time, a "household," in the census meaning, was not necessarily a man's
wife and children ; it covered servants — every one living in the family.
Isaac Newton was a soldier of the Eevolution. Abstract of service: "Newton.

5(;2 NEWTON (JENKALOGY
4899. LUTHEE NEWTON' (Setli*, Isaacs DanieP, Eicliardi), son of
Captain Seth and ' — ( ) Newton of Southborough, Mass., was bom,
I should infer, between 1760 and 1764. He died at Marlborough, N. H., Novem-
ber 19, 1829.
He married Miriam Newton (2216), daughter of Ezra and Elizabeth (Hager)
Newton of Southborough, where she was born October 20, 1764. She died at
Marlborough, N. H., September 22, 1852, aged nearly 88 years. Mrs. Newton
kept a diary for more than sixty years, in which she recorded important events —
weather, the births, marriages and deaths of the townspeople, and other matters.
The diary was used by the compiler of the history of the town of Marlborough,
N. H., who considered it of great value to him. It was then in the possession
of her daughter. Miss Nancy Newton. 1881.
March 24. 1834. among the subscribers to the fund for repairing the old meet-
ing-hovise at Marlborough, N. H., are Mrs. Miriam Newton and Miss Nancy New-
ton, each $2.00. Also. December 9, 1834, subscribers to purchase a bell for said
meeting-house, Mrs. Miriam Newton $1.00, Nancy- Newton fifty cents. Mrs.
Newton was a capable, energetic, industrious woman — a true helpmeet, to her
husband in making a home in a new land. She worked at dressmaking and mil-
linery, spinning and weaving, for pay; which helped to supply many needs in
those early years. Her keeping of the diary through all those years shows that
she had a mind that could rise above the mere drudgery of the work, and take
I'leasure in it. She is an ancestress to be proud of.
Luther Newton, with his family^ came to Marlborough, N. H., in May, 1788.
Where he lived the first years after his marriage, and where the two oldest chil-
dren were born, does not appear. Arriving in Marlborough, N. H., they lived
for a short time on the farm owned in 1881 by Hon. E. S. Frost, and purchased
a lot of land now knowai as the "Newton Meadows." Here he erected a house
built of logs, which were hewn on the inside — a much better house than most
of the log houses of that day. Mr. Newton was a very industrious man, and,
possessing a strong constitution and great powers of endurance, was able to per-
form more labor than most men. His land was poor. He was obliged to work
out by the day to procure grain and other necessaries to support his family, and
often on his return home would make shingles until a late hour at night. He
soon purchased another tract of land, where he leveled the forest and built a
house, into which he moved in 1797. This house was owned by George Thatcher,
in 1881. While he was making shingles and raising stock to pay for his land,
Mrs. Newton was also busy as above stated.
Mr. Newton appears as head of a family in Marlborough, N. H., at the tak-
ing of the First United States Census, 1790, the other members being one male
under sixteen years, and two females. He was a voter in the town in 1794, and
seems to have been an active citizen in town affairs. September 22, 1795, a num-
ber of the citizens met and formed the "Marlborough Social Library," shares
$2.00 each. At a subsequent meeting eighty-four j^ersons became members ;
among tliem were Luther, Simeon and Calvin Newton and Luke Blodgett.
Three other children were born to them after 1788 ; I suppose bom at Marl-
borough, N. H.
The following article from the will of Capt. Seth Newton : "Item. — I give to
my son Luther Newton fifty-five dollars, to be paid by my said Executrix in three
years after my decease, to be on interest after the expiration of the said three
years if not then paid, which, with what he has already had, is his full share of
my estate."

aged 83 years. She brought up the two daughters of her o^vn daughter, who died
at the birth of the younger one. "She was a noble woman. So wonderfully kind,

Simeon Newton is styled "Jr.," probably to distinguish him from his uncle,
Simeon Newton, who also was married at, and lived in, Holliston.

grims who sailed from Holland in the ship Annr, and came to this country to worship God
according to the dictates of their own consciences. Mr. Fiske was a man of great energy

successful farmer ; owner of large tracts of land in this vicinity." He served in the Colonial

a daily diary that he kept. Returning to his home he took up his farm work ; and rear-
ing and educating a large family, he gave each of his sons a farm as they became of age,

564: NEWTON GENEALOGY
Mr. Newton continued in Holliston for a year or so after marriage, then
removed to Marlborough, N. H., where he settled. He lived "for a short time
in a house that formerly stood near the residence of the late George Harvey."
He afterward purchased the farm now (1881) owned by George A. Porter, where
he resided until 1818 or 1819. when he sold the farm and moved to Templeton,
Mass., where he died.
His oldest child was born at Holliston. All of the others were born at Marl-
borough, N. H.
He was one of the members of the "Marlborough Social Library at its forma-
tion in 1795."
At a meeting of the "North Westerly School Squadron," April 5, 1797, to
choose oiEcers, Jonathan Frost, Simeon Newton and Kimber Harvey were chosen
School Committee.
The mention of him in his father's will is as follows : "Item. — I give and
bequeathe to my Son Simeon Newton one hundred dollars to be paid to him
by my said Executrix in two years after my decease, if not then paid to be on
Interest till paid, which with what he already has is his full Share of my Estate."
His father died in 1807.
He left no will and his son Amos Newton was appointed administrator. The
following is an abstract of the papers in the case. George Newton, one of the
sureties, is probably the son of Peter Newton-'^, Jr., of Templeton.

detached guards, Seventh Worcester County regiment, entered service October
3, 1779, discharged October 20, 1779. Stationed at Rutland."

ords show only the birth of his youngest child, and the church records give the
baptism of the first five. The full family record of births is given by the
family.
Mr. Newton was a farmer in Templeton. He seems to have settled there
immediately after his marriage, for the First United States Census, 1790, shows
Peter Newton head of a family at Templeton, which consisted, besides himself,
of two females. It will be noticed tliat Mr. Newton's children were all sons. The
administration of his estate is without a will. The ease in Probate: "1829.

Newton.
Mr. Newton resided in Southborough, Mass. His oliildren were bom there.
No death in his family is recorded at Southborough up to 1S50, or other men-
tion of his family.
Winslow Newton of Southborough is given in the First United States Census,
1790, as being the head of a family there, consisting of himself and one female.
And he is the only Winslow Newton mentioned in that census, throughout the
United States. Why were the children not numbered? Six of them were born
prior to that year and all were minors.
There is no Probate settlement of his estate in Worcester or Middlesex
counties.
Winslow Newton was a soldier of the Eevolution. The Massachusetts Archives
show his name on the Revolutionary rolls in tlie following services: "Winslow

Asahel Newton was a soldier of the Revolution. He joined a company of
minutemen at Warwick, as private in Capt. Eldad Wright's Company, Col. Sam-
uel Williams' regiment. The Company marched April 20, 1775, from North-
field and Warwick to Cambridge, served fourteen days. Also, Capt. Abner
Cranson's Company, Col. Whltcomb's regiment, camp at Prospect Hill; also
served enlistments in several other companies and regiments, the last discharge
was when serving in Col. William Williams' regiment in the Northern Army,
October 18, 1777 (148 miles), travel home. Also.
"Asaliel Newton. Southborough. Private in Capt. Josiah Fay's Company,

"Asahel Newton, and others of Capt. Josiah Fay's Company, Col. Ward's
regiment ; order for advance pay, dated June 13, 1775."
When you remember that the "Minutemen" were not soldiers — were not
enlisted men, but only local companies, there will seem no discrepancies in the
above dates of service. / think the service is by the same man — which may not
be the fact, however.

ough and Bolton, Mass., was born at Northborough, April 12, 1788, and died
at Groton, N. Y., February 11, 1852, aged nearly G4 years. P. R.
He married at Bolton, Mass., April 16, 1810, at which time he was "of No.
Concord, N. H.," by Rev. Isaac Allen, Rebecca Moore, daughter of Capt. Jona-
than, Jr., and Desiah (Bailey) Moore* of Bolton, where she was born January
9, 1787, twin with her sister Hannah. She died at Groton, N. Y., June 9, 1871,
aged 84 years. Besides the town records, the above data has been preserved in an
old family Bible in possession of Mr. George H. Newton of Groton, N. Y. He
also states : "Her grandmother married an Indian Chief, one of the Six
■ Nations." "One of her brothers was killed in the Revolutionary War." "She
was brought up by Squire Eastman, of Bolton."
Ezekiel Newton, in his youth, was apprenticed to learn the shoemaker's trade.
He served a seven-years' apprenticeship. One of his uncles was a shoedealer in
Baltimore, Md.
At date of his marriage he was living in North Concord. N. H. It appears
that he returned there with his wife, where they continued to reside for about
three years, during which time their first two children were born. The family
removed to Groton, N. Y., about 1813, or the beginning of 1814, and there they
made their home ; the rest of their children were born there ; and there they died.

(I. e. match) in the family [lier sister'sl tiiat proved very unhappy and she proposed to malie
this match herself — and she did. The olijection to gr. father was, that he was not rich. The
Ma.ior was so angry lie did nut visit her until after her sixtii child was born, when lie came
to them in Paxton and tnkl her if slie would come back to W. Boylston, he would give her the
farm. So they went back ami the farm became 'The Old Homestead,' where gr. father and

5112. DEACON WINDSOR NEWTON" (Silas^ Hezekiah*, Isaac^ DanieP,
Richard'), son of Silas and Eunice (Brigham) Newton of Marlborough, Lei-
cester, Rutland and Paston, Mass., was bom at Paxton, November IS, 1771, and
died there March 8, 1823, in his 53d year. Burial at Paxton.
He married at Brattleboro, Vt, July 3, 1799, Mary (called Polly) Dickermau,
daughter of Dr. Lemuel and Lucinda (Arms) Dickerman* of Brattleboro, Vt.,
where she was bom January 4, 1781. She died at Paxton, Mass., January 29,
1823, aged 42. Burial at Paxton.
Deacon Windsor Newton lived in Paxton. His children were born there. It
would seem that he always lived in the home of his birth; for, according to the
statements of the family, he was living with his father in 1800, and the home
became his in 1816. He was made executor of the will of his father, and was so
appointed by the Court on March 5, 1816. giving bonds in $20,000. His father's
will gives "To my son Winsor Newton all real estate in Paxton & Rutland and
all other land, and the residue of the personal." With this start he seems to
have been a successful farmer. He built the large house in Paxton, which is
still in good repair and bears witness to the solid carpentry in use at that time
and the stone imderpinning and door stones of solid masonry. He had planned
to have a gay house-party before the rooms were partitioned off; but instead he
invited Elder Paul, a colored pioneer Baptist preacher from Boston, to come
and preach. The house was crowded, and the sermon seems to have made such
an impression upon Mr. Newton and many others who heard it, that the event
was the turning point in their religious lives. Later, Elder Paul baptized both

[She was, perhaps, dau. of Maj. John Arms of Brattleborough, Vt.. who was commissioned to
the regiment of foot in Col. Thomas Chandler's regiment, Jan. 20. 1766. I do not know.] Dr.
Lemuel Diclserman was the first established pliysician in the town of Brattleborough, Vt. He
had a successful career ; wide practice, and at the same time carried on a large farm in the
east village, situated three miles northwest from Brattleborough. Vt. His grave is in the
old cemetery. Monument. His son, Dr. John L. Dickerman, was an established physician In
Brattleborough about forty years, and his sons, William and Lemuel, are members of the same
profession, in eastern Massachusetts.

Mr. and Mrs. Newton, and although residents of Paxton they became mem-
bers of the Baptist Church in Ilolden, and he a deacon of that church for many
years.
In the winter of 1822 an epidemic of tyi^hus fever came into the family, nearly
every member being seriously affected ; while the others recovered, both he and
his wife were victims of the disease.
He left no will. The Probate Court files show the administration of the
estate of Windsor Newton of Paxton to be No. 43,472. 1823.
The "Dickerman Ancestry," 1891, p. 56, gives five children of Windsor New-
ton and Polly Dickerman, namely: "Alexis, Dickerman, Silas, William, Polly."
The members of his family with whom I have had correspondence know noth-

Mass. He was born about 1791 or thereabout. He probably died at Mt. Holly,
Vt.
He married . The Paxton town records will probalily throw light on
his birth and marriage. I have no data.
When Silas Newton^ made his will, his son Horace seems to have been living
at the homestead, and presumably not yet married. , The will gives "To son
Horace $1,000, also furniture that was his mother's, also use of a room, etc. if
in need of it." He moved away from Paxton and settled in Mt. Holly, Vt.,
where he was a farmer. In 1865 he was living there. A man past his prime
then ; his son Windsor managed the fann, and the father living in the house
with the son — as two families, I understand. The niece who visited them in
1865 writes : "I remember the large cheeses and the delicious honey — 40 hives
of bees — Uncle Horace used to bring to West Boylston to sell. He was a good
man — very religious. He was club-footed."

aged 81.
He married at Royalston, December 10, 1811, Phebo Emerson, daughter of
Joseph and Rebecca (Nichols) Emerson:|; of Reading and Royalston, Mass. She
was born at Royalston, October 4, 1785, and died there .
At marriage Mr. Newton is mentioned as "of Reading." His descendants
state that he "resided in, and never removed from, Royalston." His children
were all born at Royalston. His lands, in part receiyed from his father, and in
part owned by purchase. "Before the War of 1812, Royalston had an independant
organization, called the 'Royalston Grenadiers,' and during the campaign of 1814,
when the British naval force were threatening the northern sea-coast, they
received orders to march at once for Boston (Saturday evening, Aug. 9, 1814).
They mustered the next day, attended divine service with their friends, and
started for the capital of the State. They were discharged after thirty-five days
service and returned home without casualty." [Royalston Memorial, 1865.]

t Joseph Emerson, from Reading, Mass., settled in Royalston. He had seen service in the
Revolution and was a iionsinncr of that war. He married before coming to Royalston,
Rebecca Nichols, who died his widow, Sept. r>, 1837, aged 87. He died Jan. 30. 1837, aged
86 ; both at Royalston. Their children born there were : Nancy, 1780 ; Polly, 1783 ; Pheie,

Among the list of officers who went with this company were Ensign Willard
Newton, promoted Colonel of the Fiftli Res'iment, 2d Brigade, 7th Division, and
Sergeant Elmer Newton, promoted Colonel of the same regiment later on.
"The Eoyalston Brigade were all six footers." "The title of 'Col.' stuck to
Willard Newton to the end, and he was every inch a Colonel. Six feet two
inches in height and straight as a ramrod at 81." This short service makes
both Col. Willard and Col. Elmer to have been soldiers of the War of 1812-1814.
Thus does every generation have its opportunity to show its loyalty and patriot-
ism in defense of its country.
The will of Willard Newton of Royalston was probated in 1864, No. 4.3.456
in the Probate Court cases.
The lands and home of Col. Willard joined the original homestead of his
father [that has passed on to Dea. Elmer", and now to Pliinehas S.'], Nathan
Brigham Newton, and was willed by Col. Willard to his grandson, Ebenezer
Perkins Newton, then an infant, who is still its proprietor and occupant.

He married at Boston, Mass., July 20, 1817, Eliza Lewis, daughter of William

She died at Leominster, Mass., Jaiiuaiy 7, 1862. Her mother, Eliza' Picket, was
of Marblehead, Mass.
Mr. Newton left his native town when about twenty-one years old and went
into the drygoods business with his brothers George and Phinehas in Boston, on
Cornhill — the fashionable shojiping district. The firm failed during the finan-
cial distresses of 1814-1816. Sometime afterward, about 1831 or 1832, at his
father's request, he returned to Royalston and carried on the business of the
home farm, where, although it is a beautiful place and he was happy and pros-
perous there, yet ovenvork brought on paralysis, and he died after long years
of illness.
The patriotism that most of his name seem to have, led him to go out as a
volunteer, not registered, in the War of 1812-1814, to serve one night in guard-
ing Charlestown bridge.
The Probate Court records show the estate of Hezekiah Newton of Royalston
to have been administered, without a will, in 1852. Number of case, 43,208.
The first six children were born at Boston, the last three were born at Royal-
ston.

Mr. Newton resided in Royalston all tlie days of liis life. As a young man he
was a member of the independent military organization of the town called the
"Koyalston Grenadiers'' with the rank of Sergeant and was promoted to be
Colonel of the Fifth Regiment, Second Brigade, Seventh Division. The company
was called out August 9, 1814, and marched to Boston to resist the British (as
narrated under the heading of his brother Willard, who also was a member of
it; which see). Mr. Newton's title of "Col." was not used in his later years.
He became a deacon of the First Congregational Church at Royalston, and was
called "Deacon Newton." Since all of tliat military organization were "six-
footers," it follows that Deacon Newton was not under average size.
In due course. Deacon Newton became proprietor of his father's homestead
and fine estate. The family were prominent citizens of Royalston. Col. Elmer
Newton was one of the Selectmen of the to\\Ti in 1841. Ho was chosen Repre-
sentative to the General Court in 1849. In 1865 he and his widowed sister were
the only surviving members of his father's large family, and at this writing
(1912) only one of his own children remains alive to keep the glow of living
light on the old hearthstone.
The will of Ehner Newton of Royalston was probated in 1880. It is case
No. 43,140 in Probate Court.

in that town Aug. 20, 1832, educated in its public schools, including its
High School. Manufacturer of palm-leaf hats, and a farmer. Assessor

young manhood in a wonderful degree — the spirit that leads a man to be
up and doing things, thus keeping the physical up to its best to resist
the encroachment of years. After the death of his mother, his sister was
the family housek('ei)er until her own death in 189:5. Mr. Newton spends
most of the year on the farm, making a .southern trip occasionally, and in
his manufacturing voulure ho was successful llnancially.

He married (3) probably at Nonvich, Vt., Olive Partridge Wright, daughter
of John and Olive (Partridge) Wright§. a resident of Norwich, Vt.
In 1905, the historian of Norwich, Vt., states: "Mr. Joseph Emerson built
for his residence the house that is now the home of Mrs. Baxter B. Newton."
• David Newton, .Ir., a farmer in Hartford, Vt., son of David and Mary (Hazen) Newton
of that place, was b. March 18, 1778, and d. aged 86. He m. (1) Eliz.^brth Partridce of
Norwich, Vt., who died in 1867, and he m. (2) Sabriki. Tuacy of Hartford, Vt. His oldest
child was Flora, b. Feb. 11. 1807.
David Newton, the father, I have not been al)le to trace; but have given what I hnve
found of his posterity; which see. From the statement that the pioneer settlers of Hartford,
Vt.. came from Connecticut, principally, he may be from the branch of Rev. Roger Newton'
01* from Thomas Newfon^ of Connecticut, prnba))ly the latter.

He also speaks of lier as "Widow of the late Baxter B. Newton." Windsor
County. Vt.. Business Directory, 1884, has : "Widow of Baxter B. Newton. Nor-
wich. Vt. Resident. Home on Main Street." I suppose she died there, June
— , 1899.
The towns of Norwich and Hartford, Vt., are nearby towns. So Baxter B.
Newton of Norwich had not far to journey when he courted "his cousin," Flora
Newton, at Hartford. After their maiTiage in 1828 they settled in West Hart-
ford, Vt., where he kept a store. Among the other necessary articles he also
sold rum, as was the custom at general stores. Among the people who lived
in West Hartford the first half of the century and were in the prime of
manhood are mentioned, among others, the following men whom we are here
concerned with: Baxter B. Newton, Capt. Levi Hazen, Dr. David Ingraham,
Reuben Haven, Dr. Ira Tenne.y, David Hazen, Zavan Haven, David Wilson.
The Congregational Church Society was organized there in 1829. Among the
list of members are a great many Hazens and others, and Baxter B. Newton
and Tnnnan Newton (son of David, Sr.).
A little story, and mention of Mr. Newton, may not be out of place here,
namely : "In 1833 a Mr. Bullard and his daughter of Pomfret, Vt., were one
night crossing the West Hartford bridge, when the horse became frightened,
and all were precipitated into the river thirty feet below. Miss Bullard was
killed outright. The old man had been drinl<ing New England rum. the last glass
of which he took at the store of Baxter B. Newton but a few minut-es preceding
the accident.. This store has since been converted into a dwelling house and is
now occupied by Mr. Hoyt Hazen, the present Postmaster and R. R. Agent."
Sometime between 1833 aiid 1839 Mr. Newton moved to Norwich, Vt, where
from 1839 to 1841 he was Postmaster. From 1841 to 1845 he was "a merchant
at Norwich, Vt.," and is so designated in the record of his second marriage.
He probably spent the remainder of his life in Norwich, his third wife, being a
native of Norwich, spent also her widowhood there. By his second wife he had
several children, all of whom died young.

child of their old age.
After the death of his father, in 1829, Calvin Newton came into possession of
the home farm in Marlborough, N. H., where he resided many years. He was
a member of the Social Librai-y Society at its formation in 1795. March 24,
1834, he subscribed $15.25 toward repairing the old meeting-house.
In the latter part of his life, his son, Martin L. Newton, took over the home
farm, and Calvin Newton bought a farm in Swanzey, N. H. Soon after the
death of his last wife he sold tliis place in Swanzey, where he had lived several
years, and removed to Troy, N. H., to live vffith his son Martin L., who had
gone there about 1870, and with whom he died.
The children are given as having been born in Marlborough, N. H., except
that by the last wife, who was probably born in Swanzey, N. H.

Amos Newton was a pump manufacturer and farmer. It is said by his
descendants tliat he lived all of his married life in Templeton, Mass., and that
his children were bom there. However that may be, the town records do not
contain the birth record of any of them, but does contain his own death, and that
of the two youngest children. The dates of their births I have taken from a copy
of the Learned Genealogy printed in 1898. The dates given by the family were
very much mixed.
* William Leaened', is the manner in which the immigrant of that family wrote his name.
It later appears on the records as Learnard. Larned — and other spellings, but is always the
same family. William Learned from Bermondsey Parish, County Surrey, England, settled
in Charlestown, Mass., in 1C.32. He was freeman in 1634. He and his wife "Goodeth"
[Judith] were admitted to the church in 1632 (10 mo. G d.) and in 1638 he with five

Of Ivah Newton, Jus granddaughter writes in 1906: "My grandfatlier came
from Phillipston, Mass. He had seven children. None of tliem are living. My
father, Albert G., was the eldest child," and was born at Hinsdale, N. H. It
would seem that the rest of his children were bom there, since both the oldest
and youngest sons were, and his granddaughter says they were. "They were born
and raised at Hinsdale," are her words.

Mr. Newton lived in West Boylston many years, it is said, and had children
bom there. The tomi records show no births. I have very little information
of this family and have not been able to reach any of his descendants. He
became unsettled in his religious views and went to live among the Shakers,
at Shirley Village, in Harvard, Mass., thinking they were a little nearer the
truth tlian anything ho had found. He died with them.

their lives on a farm, for one year after marriage in AVest Boylston, and
then in Ilolden, where they still reside, in feeble health, to be sure, but
full of years and good works. Mr. Ball carried on brickmaking in con-
nection with farming. In 1860 he purcha.sed the up-and-down saw mill on
Ball Creek, and carried on a lumljer business, until the timber in that
vicinity was used up. After the death of liis father in 1870 he purchased

of her son's four children after the death of their mother — thus rearing
two families, who have the right to call her blessed. Even in advanced
years she seems a person of much energy and will power, and a mind
clear to grasp and discuss ideas. She writes : "I read a great deal, I
have always enjoyed it, and do now, but my eyes are troubling as I read

of Horace and Nancy (DeWitt*) Smith of Leicester, Mass., where she was born

months.
Dr. William Newton was a skillful dentist; in which profession he took high
rank at Worcester, Mass., where he had settled before marriage. Left an orphan
at the age of three years, he was roared by an aunt, at Petersham, Mass. After
passing through the public schools, he attended the Worcester Academy and the
Literary Institute at Suffield, Conn. He was a prominent Baptist and would
have followed the ministry; but failing health and a weak voice caused him
to give up those studies. He did hold one or two pastorates, and later preached
occasionally.
Lie became a student in the office of Dr. Miller, a well-known dentist of
Worcester in his day, who later took him into a partnershiji under the firm name
of "Miller and Newton," which continued many years. Wien this firm was
dissolved Dr. Newton continued the practice alone until 1855. In that year,
on account of failing health, he went to Oxford, Mass., to recuperate, and was
so pleased with the village that he removed to that town and settled there per-
manently, becoming closely identified with it and its institutions. He was chosen
deacon of the Baptist church of North Oxford, April 3, 1869, and served as
superintendent of its Sunday school ; was a member of the Christian Commis-
sion during the Civil War. He was interested in educational matters and served
on the school board 1862 to 1864.
His two children were bom at Oxford, Mass.

6321. ABNER NELSON NEWTON, SR.^ [Ancestry not traced. He may
belong to either of the three branches : Isaac of East Windsor and Stafford,
Conn., or Rev. Roger of Milford, Conn., or Thomas of Fairfield, Conn. The
name Abner occurs in all the branches of Newton]. He was born in Connecticut,
it is supposed, and surely lived there, with his family, at East Windsor, and at
Monson, Mass. ; and died at Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1839 or 1840.
Ho married Zaviah Skinner (date and place not known), who was a Scotch
lady, the mother of six of his children ; born about 1792, or before, and died
at Monson, Mass.('0 in July (about the 13th), 1837. "She is buried at Stafford,
Conn., in the Nelson family lot with the Nelsons who are our relatives, but has
no marked headstone." Her son writes of her: "She was a Christian and so
were my brothers and sisters." This son saw her last when he was about eleven
years old, and she sang the hymn "Loving kindness" for him. He could not
forget it. Her husband left her about the year 1817, going West "to seek
employment" — ostensibly so — and never returned. The family was left in
destitute circumstances, the mother's health gave way and she found asylum
with her father, while her children were cared for by sympathizing friends.
Just what was the itinerary of Mr. Newton in his search for work is not known,
but after an absence of eighteen years, there was a rumor that he was living in
Cincinnati, Ohio. His son went in search of him. His comment and heart-
breaking cry is: "Wliy did my mother die a broken-hearted woman? Can you
not guess? . . . nothing less than that haiieful, withering. Hasting, hlighting
curse of Rum."
He married again in the West. By the last union he left a daughter Gabrillia,
born ; married a man by the name of Hunnicut.
They had a daughter, Lida Hunnicut, and others whose names are not knowm.
Mr. M. J. Newton writes: "About 1894, uncle introduced me to a young man
who was descended from this marriage." "Uncle had been in touch with this
second family, I think, from the time ho went in search of his father." The
children were :
Two who.se names are not known [prob. died young].

Mr. Newton wrote what he designated, "Sketch of my Life. Let these few
lines my funeral sermon be: Devoid of all attempts at eulogy." It indicates
also the hymns and order of his funeral ser\'ices. The paper is cherished by the
family, and from it the following is talven : A mere child, six years old, he found
a home with Captain Samuel Peters, a farmer, who also kept a tavern near the
town of Llebron, Conn., where he remained nntil he was seventeen years old.
"It proved a good home to me." Then he went to Providence, R. I., and learned
the baker's trade. He worked at the trade there for eight years. Meanwhile he
had united with the First Baptist Church at Providence, R. I., in 1831 — his
employers being members — and had signd a total abstinence pledge, "and have
kept it inviolate to the present time," he states. He also went to school and pre-
pared himself for college; entered Brown University in the fall of 1836, intend-
ing to take a thorough collegiate course of study; but a rumor reached him that
his father was living in Cincinnati, Ohio. This report revived in him a strong
desire to see his father. He left college before the term expired ; worked at his
trade about three months ; earned $75, and with this money, on June 1, 1837,
left for the West, traveling night and day, and arriving at (Cincinnati on June
13, 1837 — "a stranger in a strange city, young and inexperienced." He found a
man whom he had knomi in Providence, who took him to his home "and was
indeed a friend to me — My Guardian Angel."
On November 1, 1837, he began the study of "dentistry under Dr. Melancthon
Rogers, and remained with him three years, less one month." October, 1840, he
opened an office in Cincimiati, but not meeting the success anticipated, he left
the city and opened an office in Riclunond, Ind., April 1, 1841. Here he became
a successful dentist and made that city his permanent home. His children, born
there, were:

bracing the present towns of Jay and Canton." [Hist Gen. Reg., Vol. 30.]
[I do not known who the above Ebenezer Newton was. He would need to
have been bom as early as the first decade of 1700. His name occurring among
other "proprietors of the Sudbury-Canada Grant" would indicate that he. too.
was from Sudbury — and, by inference a descendant of Richard Newton', the
immigrant, whose birth failed to be recorded. I do not know. The grants of
land in Maine to the Sudbury people would account for Ebenezer Newton being
in that vicinity. Also, it seems not impossible that his son John, born March
25, 1725, might be the John Newton' of Gosport, Isle of Shoals, N. H. I place
him next with that idea, and for convenience. After this John Newton, I shall
place Ebenezer Newton of Keeue, N. IT., who ma!/ have been of this family,
perhaps a younger brother of John of Isle of Shoals. This is all conjecture, of
course. Only facts are proof.]

John Newton and Sarah Currier joined in marrlase at the church in Oosp^ort,
by Eev. Mr. John Tucke (who wrote the record of it) on November 30, 1747.
October 2(i, 1749, Mrs. Sarah Newton renewed her covenant with the church,
with many others. Six children were born to them and baptized in the church
at Gosport. On August 23, 1752, was placed against her name the mark (+)

Among the deaths on record in the Go.sport, N. TL, church are: "John Newt

(Boston) of February, 1811, notes among recent deaths: "In Portsmouth Mr.
John Newton of the Isle of Shoals, a>t. 47." An inscription from the North
Cemetery of Portsmouth has for him "John Newton, a native of Gosport. died
Jan. 26, 1811, aged 48." These records would indicate the above John to be

Charlestown, Mass., was sent as a sort of missionary to inquire into the state of
these islands, to distribute books and otherwise assist them. Among the persons

there is no other William mentioned) who became an active and trusted
citizen in the affairs of the towrt as police officer and on school com-
mittee ; constable and town dork 1848 ; moderator of the town meeting

6395. EBENEZER NEWTON^ of Kecne, N. H. [ancestry not known, but
probably descended from Richard'] was bom about 1740, and died at Rochester,
Vt. His grave, in the cemetery in Rochester village, is marked by a headstone
inscribed :
"Ebenezer Newton
Died May 14, 1814
Aged 74 years."
lie married at Keene, N. H., both being residents of Keene, by Rev. Clement
Sumner, on June 2, 1768, Susannah Hubert, [also written Hobert and Hubbard.]
She is supposed to have come from Milton or Braintree, Mass. Whose daughter
she was I have not learned; Init would suggest that she is probably descended
from the immigrant Eilmund Hubbard who settled at liingham, Mass. She
was born about 1750 and died at Rochester, Vt, at the home of her son David,
where she had spent her last years. She is buried in the North Hollow Cemetery,
where her headstone is inscribed :
"Susanna Newton, wife of Ebenezer Newton,
Died June 2, 1838,
Aged 88 years."
Mr. Newton came, from somewhere unknown to me, to Keene, N. H., when
quite a young man — a youth, in fact, for he was there in 1754, and it is
recorded of him that he was a soldier during the French and Indian wars of
1754-1757 from Keene. His service was in connection with General Amherst's
42
|,gg NEWTON GENEALOGY
Army which captured Ticonderoga. The tradition in the family is that he
was one of the scouts or pioneers across the Green Mountains from Cliarlestown,
N H —No. 4, it was then designated— to Ticonderoga. He was young for such
service, if the dates on his headstone are correct. But at that time both young
and old were out to defend their homes.
The next date on the records is his marriage in 1768.
In 1T70, Ebenezer Newton, with others, was given liberty by the town to
build pews in the meetinghouse at Keene. and to divide them among themselves
as they sliould agree. This would indicate th.at Ebenezer was something of a
carpenter, by this time.
About 1775 we find Ebenezer Newton on a muster roll of Keene m a company
of 117 officers and men. with an "Alarm List" of 45 men. "A list of the foot
Company of Keene." The alarm list was made up of older and not fully able-
bodied men. They were not expected to go far from their homes, but to protect
them, while the younger men followed the enemy.
April 12, 1776, Ebenezer Newton signed the "Association Test" of loyalty.
November 22, 1776, Ebenezer Newton signed a petition for a pest-house for
Keene. .
In 1776 Ebenezer Newton was connected with the New Hampshire militia as
a soldier of the Eevolution. He was enrolled in Col. Ashley's regiment, which
participated in the battle of Bennington on August 16, 1777.
June 29, 1777, Col. Ashley marched against Burgoyne. Among the enlisted
men was Ebenezer Newton of Keene, N. H.
In 1790. the First United States Census gives our Ebenezer Newton still at
Keene, N. H., where his family consists of himself — i. e,, one male and six
females. This would prove that he was still a citizen of Keene and did not
move to Kochester, Vt., so early as 1780, as the family supposed. The war
was well over and the country settled down before he changed his residence.
Thus his children were all bom at Keene, N. H., and are recorded on the town
books. Mrs. Hester (Page) Dunham, now living on what was supposed to be
his home place in Eochester, Vt., writes : "Ebenezer Newton was my great-grand-
father, but this place was never his. It was settled by his son, David Newton,
in 1800, and if he ever made his home here it was not a permanent one."

Susan Taylor Smith, daughter of Capt. Ephraim and Susan (llawes)
Smith of Chatham. Mr. Newton was a teacher throughout his manhood
life — an accomplished scholar. Offered the suixM-intendency of schools at
various time, he declined, preferring to teach. When fourteen years of
age, he moved with his parents from Truro to Chatham, JIass., where he
was graduated from the high school ; 1876 was graduated from the State
Normal School at Bridgewater ; teacher in the grammar school at Es.sex ;
principal of the high school at Westport; master of the grammar schools
at Marlborough, Provincetown, Taunton, Somerville; sub-master of
Lyman and Emerson schools at East Boston, and lastly master of the
Franklin School of Boston, which position he held at the time of his
death.
Mr. Newton had especially prepared himself in music and art, and gave
much attention to these branches in connection with his teaching. He
studied history under I'rofessor Hart of Harvard University, and psychol-
ogy with Dr. Larkin Dunton of l',oston Normal School. He was a member
of several teachers' clubs and a.ssociations and musical societies, which often
led to his tilling positions as choirmaster and soloist in several churches.
He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Cliurch, and of its official
board. His widow and three of his four children survive.

is an active and useful citizen of his town and state. Pew men are better
equipped by experience and adaptibility to the public service. It is stated :
"lion. H. Huestis Newton of Everett is a man of note in our Legislature"
[Mass. General Court, in the State House at Boston]. He was a repre-
sentative to the Legislature continuously 1898-1904, holding the import-
ant committee assignments : 1898, on judiciary ; 1899, chairman com-
mittee on taxation ; second member on committee on election laws ; 1900,

revision of public statutes (1901) ; 1904, chairman committee on metro-
I)olitan aSfairs and on rules.
Mr. Newton, as delegate to the Republican State Convention, April,
1904, was chairman of the committee on resolutions. He was elected and
served as mayor of Everett for the year 1905. In 1913 he ran as a
"progressive" for the office of attorney-general and was defeated. It is
written, of him that his "well-known position on every moral question;
unimpeachable character ; sterling integrity, legal and executive ability are
recognized and highly appreciated by our citizens." He served his city
four .years on the school board, and five years city solicitor. He was a
gi'aduate, ISS!. from Boston University, and was admitted to the bar in
1889. See note below. His children are :

•The following from the Boston Transcripi, 1011, is relative and interesting: "Ex-Repre-
sentative Newton of Everett, who ranks as one of the substantial guns of the Republican party,
took three letters in shorthand the other day, though he had not tried It for fifteen years.
He also read back his notes. He was in a group discussing the ease with which such arts are
lost through lack of practice, when he ventured the suggestion he could call it back. When he
had finished he explained that when just out of college he followed Governor Robinson In the
famous Butler campaign around the State and reported him for the Boston Journal. He
thought that experience helped to fix it firmly in his mind."

6401. RUFUS NEWTON^ (Ebenezeri of Keene), son of Ebenezer and Sus-
annah (Hubbard) Newton of Keene, N. H., and Rochester, Vt, was bom at
Keene. N. H., March — , 1780, and died at Brandon, Vt., September 8, 1857,

1863, aged 81 years, 9 months. G. S. "Ten children, of whom eight became
adults."
Mr. Newton was a farmer. Wlien he removed from Keene, N. H., we do not
know, but we do know that he settled in Brandon, Vt., where ho lived many
years.
He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and was gone with the army for several
years; was given up as dead, so long was the time he was not heard from, but
finally returned. Eight children were living before his war service and two were
born after his return. [That is the family report. We regret we have the
birth dates of but two of the ten children and we cannot be sure when they were
born.] The family was poor and the children had to get out and work soon, as
farmer's children always do. His capable wife was taken care of in her last years
in the home of their son Alexander S. Newton.

6460. ALEXANDER SELKIRK NEWTON'' (Rufus=, Ebenozeri of Keene),
son of Riifus and Sally (Brown) Newton of Keene, N. H., Rochester and Bran-
don, Vt., was born at Ilubbardston, Vt. — "on the site of the old battleground
of July 7, 1777"— February 7, 1823. He died at Forestdale, Vt., April 28, 1905.
He married, February 16, 1848, Silvia Hock of Brandon. ''Her mother's
maiden name was Rich." She died February 17, 1859.
He married (2) at Pittsfield, Vt., August 25, 1860, Esther Alvira Austin,
daughter of Stillman and Louisa (Flanders) Austin* of Rochester, Vt., where
she was burn ilay 23, 1838. She died at Salisbury, Vt., January 6, 1908.
Mr. Newton was educated in the public schools until fourteen years old, when
he learned the cabinet-maker's trade. Later he invented the first automatic
machine for novelty wood turning, which proved to be the foundation of an
enterprising business known as the "Newton & Thompson Manufacturing Com-
pany," established in 1856, in Brandon, Vt. ; and at the present time (1912) a
successful establislmient, furnishing employment to a large number of people
• Louisa Flajiders was the dau. of Moses and Sarah (George) Flanders of Antrim, N. H.
Sarah George of Weare, N. H., was tlie dau. of Simeon George, who is thought to have come
from Newburyport, Mass.
Simeon George and his five sons were in the Revolutionary War. Although I have been able
to find where most of the sons enlisted, I have not been able to find fti« enlistment. [Mrs.
Lelia Field.]
Stillman Austin was of Scotch descent — the name originally being McAstin, from that to
Astin and thence Austin. There are a great many of them buried in Rochester, Vt. [Same.]

in the village of Forestdale. ForesUlalo is in the town of Brandon, but a
village by itself about three miles from Brandon proper. There is no one of
the Newton name now in the business; but the family is represented in the
business in the person of the president of the company, Mr. Lewis Bump ; who
married a granddaughter of its founder. Alma E. Ne^vton, daughter of Eugene
Alexander, son of Alexander S. Newton. The family have reason to be justly
proud of the achievements of their ancestor, and this is the proper and exact
place to mention his good works.

6581. EPIIRAIM NEWTON^ [I have not sufficient data to place this man;
but he is probably of the branch of Kichard Newton' of Sudbury]. He was
born in Marlborough, Mass., October 9, 1782 [P. R], and died in Charlton,
Mass., May 0, 184(3, aged 64; lung fever.
He married in Marlborough, Mass., October 29, 1800, Kate [Caty] Russell.
She was daughter of Oliver and Elizabeth (How) Russell of Marlborough and
Northborough, and bom in Nortliborough, October 18, 1782. She died in North-
borough, Mass., in 1822 or 1823. Twelve children.
Ho married (2) in Worcester, Mass., February 7, 1838, Mrs. Vina Robbins.
I am told that this Eiihraim Newton had a brother Sylvester, who lived in
Paxton, and another brother whose name was Brighani.
Ephraim Newton was a farmer. He had fanns in Northborough, Millbury,
Westborough and Charlton, Mass. "Many of his children were born in North-
boro', and may be all of them," says his son. But the records there do not have
them. The two oldest children were born in Marlborough, Mass.
He died without a will, and his estate was administered by his son-in-law,

though he may have been a son of Jason'^ (293), whose sons, Jason" and Samuel",
removed to Laneshorough, in Berlcshire County, Mass., and later to Vermont.
Lanesborough is directly south of New Ashford, which was settled in 1762, by
emigrants from the eastern part of Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con-
necticut. One of them was Samuel P. Tyler], "He married in New Ashford,
Mass., we thinlv," writes his grandson, "Elizabeth Tyler, who was born about
1744, and died in Georgia, Vt.. July — , 1834, where she was buried (no stone)."
''She died when my father (Wm. T.) was ten years old and she was 90 at the time
she died."
SECTION II, TART I 673
"She left her husband, taking her three sons, Frederick and Harry and John,
coming from New Ashford, Mass., to Georgia, Vt., in 1708, where they after-
ward lived — and where she died at Frederick's house, when she was quite old.
She may have left other children in Massachusetts, I do not know." "Frederick's
father, I never saw nor heard much about, except that he came once to Georgia
to see his son Frederick." "He was a drinking man ; that was the reason his
wife left him and brought her boys with her. We do not know what kind of
men Harry and John turned out to be; but Frederick was strictly temperate,
as were all his sons and grandsons. So she accomplished what she set out to
do — to bring up her children in the good way." I do not know the order of
these children, except that Frederick was youngest.

Davis* of that town, where she was bom Jan. 9, 1784. She died there
Feb. 24, 1852.
On Dec. 31, 1899, William Tyler Newton', youngest son of Frederick',
had printed a copy of the names of the descendants of Frederick — the then
Newton family of Georgia, consisting of his ten children, forty-three grand-
children and nine great-grandchildren. It is to be regretted that he did not
include dates in this record, and other family records of his knowledge that
would have enhanced its value in great measure. His son. Mr. Henly S.
Newton, has not only contributed the data printed by his father, but ha.s
supplied the lack of the dates : and also given abundant new matter to
our record of this family. To him we are indebted tor it all.
Frederick Newton^ was eighteen yeai-s old when he came with his mother
and two brothers from Massachu.setts to Vermont and with them estab-
lished a home there, the youngest of the three brothers. The family on

Stephen Davis* came from Massachusetts to Georgia, Vt., in 1789. He purchased a mile of
government land on the east side of what is now the main road ot that village, also the main
road from Montreal to Burlington. Vt. He gave $4.00 an acre tor said land, which consisted
principally ot forests, the road being shown by marked trees. He was a good citizen, upholding
the freedom and the principles of the T'nited States Government of to-day.
He married a lady named Young, and they had a family of twelve children, three
sons and nine daughters. He lived in Georgia. Vt., thirteen years, dying in 1802. at the age of
66 years t= horn about 1736]. He left to each son 260 acres of land property, and to each
daughter 130 acres =r 10.10 acres. 'His children and grandchildren were :
William Y. Davis, d. 1802, having buried three children.
Moses Davis, d. Sept. 30, 1827, aged 54 [ = b. 177.1]. leaving sons: Harry, Young, and
Jackson.
Betsey Davis, m. Luther Taylor and had children; Absolom, Young, Betsey (wife of C. V.
Bliss).
Polly Davis, d. in 1829. aged 7G [ = b. 1753], m. Hon. Frederick Bliss.
Stephen Davis, d. In 1845, aged 74 [ = b. 1771]. His children were; Stephen, Warner,
Ransel. Harmon. Alvira and Loverna.
Becky Davis, m. Edman Lamh. Their children were Edman, Osburn. Manly, Heman. Lautha
and Samantha.
Patty Davis, m. Rotert WeifjMman. Their children were : John, Marv, Young. Adam, Moses,

A daughter, Davis, who m. Mr. Johnson. No children.
Anna Davis, the youngest daughter, m. In 1802 Frederick Xevton, of Massachusetts, son of
Nathaniel and his wife Elizabeth (Tyler) Newton of JIassachusetts [prob. New Ashford].
The order of the above children is not correct. That is evident. A few more dates would
straighten matters. But as a whole the matter is of value, coming as it does from a member
of the family, whose family record it is. [E. N. L.]

arrival in Georgia. Vt.. moved into one ot Mr. Stephen Davis' houses, and
later Mr. Newton married the daughter of Mr. Davis, and that property
was given by her father to her — 130 acres. Thus the Newton homestead
in Georgia came to them through Anna Davis, wife of Frederick Newton.
It wa.s good property and a productive farm. Frederick Newton built a
substantial frame hou.se — one and one half stories — that is still in a good
state of preservation, now owned and inhabited by his grandson, Irving
Newton, who received it from his father, William, buying out the shares
of his brothers and sisters in the property. Here Mr. and Mrs. Newton
made a home that was to see the birth of eleven children : the death of
six of them while under the age of 30 years, principally of consumption,
two dying within the same year more than once. After the birth of their
grandson. Heman Newton, there had been sixteen deaths in the old Newton
home, against twenty-six births.
Frederick Newton was a powerfullj' built man. Although he was a
farmer, he cut the timber, framed and built for himself the house he
lived in, and two barns, without a mistake. lie had a mechanical turn
of mind. All the schooling he had was included in twenty-one day.s — and
studying at home in the evenings. The education of many was acquired
in the same manner in those days. One can but admire the persistence,
and the high standard. His posterity show the same mechanical skill.
They are all at carpenter, cabinet and mason work, as the results of their
labors show, although most of them live on farms. They are all fond of
music, and are good singers — boys and girls, men and women. William
Tyler Newton had an exceptionally sweet tenor voice. The men were
lovers of good horses — therefore excellent teamsters. Of 51r. Newton's
eleven children, onlv four lived to marry. Children were:

6721. WILLIAM TYLER NEWTON' (Freflerick=), born September 16,
1823; a farmer in Georgia, Vt. ; resided on the homestead of liis parents, and
had born to him tiiore, foiirteon chilih-en. lie died April 19, 1902, in the hospital
at St. Albans, Vt. Ho married in Georgia, Vt., May — , 1845, Charlotte Cald-
well, daughter of Samnel and Sarah (Pattee) Caldwell of Georgia, Vt., where
she was born March 31, 1825, and where she died March 21, 1893. Cancer.
Mr. Newton was a tall man, spare built. He had dark, curly hair and black
eyes. He was not a man of great physical strength, but possessed a sleight
of hand that could turn ofP more work in less time, and easier than many a
stronger man. He was of a nervous temperament, loved music and had an
exquisite voice. He taught all his children to read music and to sing, and sang
with them a great deal. All the four ])arts were carried by the family, and there
was "Music in the Air," when they all took up the strain.
He was a lover of horses and oxen, and always kept good ones of both. He
counted it a favor to him, if he were permitted to break in steers for his neigh-
bors— doing it all by voice and kindness, never using the whip. He had the
same gentle control over his children, whom he taught to obey, and to work, and
to become self-respecting men and women. "None of them drank, smoked or
chewed tobacco, dan<'ed, played cards or read dime novels."
He lived on the old home place, which Inter his son owned, all of his life. One
day he was shoving kindling wood under the kitchen stove and got a splinter in
his right hand. It did not heal; developed into a cancer. He went to the
hospital at St. Albans, Vt, where the arm was taken off above the elbow. That
healed and he was well for about a year, when the cancer broke out under the
arm. He went again to the hospital, and had another operation. It did not heal.
He lived several weeks at the hospital, and then died there. His body was
lirought home and the funeral was from the residence where so many of his
family had died. [Henly S. Newton.] His children were:

lie married in CJeorgia, Vt., Sept. 6. 1868, Sarahette King, daughter of
William and Spedia (Hyde) King. She was b. at Malone, N. Y., Aug. 3,
1847, and in 1908 was living with her daughter in Lunenburg, Vt. Their
children were :
0759. 1. Warren Scymovr^. b. M/iy 13, 1869, in Georgia, Vt. : an electrician; m.
at Angelo, Wis., Sept. 12, 1890, Eva Mitchell, daughter of Merritt and
Maria (Bradley) Mitchell of Fairfield, Vt., where she was b. .Tune 20,
1869. Mr. Newton went out to Wisconsin in the spring of 1890: He
liked the place and the work, and his affianced wife came out to him.
They were married right away and he continued at the same work —
running the dynamo that lights the City of Sparta, runs the flour mill,
etc.. until 1903, when he returned to Vermont, and settled at Albany.
He is engaged as superintendent of a large, wholesale grain establish-
ment, where grain is mixed and ground by electricity. His children are:

6837. NATHANIEL NEWTON- (son of Anthony E. Newton (6836), whose
pedigree is unl^nown) was born at Ruthmd, Vt., February 21, 1782, and died
of cholera at Wheeling, W. Va., June 17, 1851, aged 69.
He married in Pennsylvania, to^vn and date not known, Mrs. Anna (Batter-
son) Slaterly, daughter of Leonard and (Dodd) Batterson of PhiUips-
burg, Warren County. N. J., where .she was bom Sept. 5, 1786. She died in
Beverly, Ohio, November 14, 1857. Her first husband, Mr. Slaterly, died in
Iowa a short time after their marriage. By him she had a son, Leonard Slaterly,
born Feb. 17, 1813, who was brought up by his grandfather, Batterson, and took
his name, Leonard Slaterly Batterson. He married, and died. His widow, Mrs.
C. Batterson was living in 1907 in Keota, Keokuk Co., Iowa, aged 90 years.
The father of Leonard Batterson, Sr., "was bom in England, I think," is the
SECTION IT, PART I (J79
statement. As to the wife, Dodd, ''Father [Mark A.] said he had an
uncle by the name of Dodd."
Anthony R. Newton's wife had sisters Jane (m. David VanZile), and Rebecca
(m. Jacob Rowley). The above is all the knowledge the now living descendants
have of the old people.
Nathaniel Newton- was five years old when his father died [= 1787]. lie
was brought up his aiuits, Mrs. VanZilo and Mrs. Rowley, sisters of his mother,
in Vermont, and came with them from Vermont to Tioga County, N. Y., where
they settled. After his marriage he settled for a time in Durgy, Bradford
County, Pa., whore four of his children were born. His trade was shoemaker,
but he was also a farmer.
"A man by the name of Durgy kept a country store there which gave name
to the place, where the mail came once a week. About three miles up the river
a man by the name of Ridgeway started a like store — at either place the farmers
could trade and tlio boys sell their coon skins." Between 18.30 and 1832, Mr.
Newton moved from Durgy to Akron, Summit Co., Ohio, where he took up
land by the "Squatter's Claim'' method. Later he removed to Sandusky, Ohio,
and from there went to Columbus, Ohio ; thence to Moscow Mills, Ohio, and
last to Wheeling, W. Va., where he died. Being a shoemaker, he went where
work was most abundant. Mr. Newton was a medium-sized, athletic man. His
wife was of larger frame. Their children were :

Of his progenitors he writes me : "We are of a respectable family, and

a better way. They have an only child :

He purchased a farm of 200 acres, married and settled upon it, and
reared there a family of five children.
SECTION II. TART I 681
Tlie following, from "1'rogre.ssive Jlen of Sloiitaiia," is tlip mpiitioii
of i\Ir. Newton: "He is so constituted by nature that public affairs in
which the general welfare of his section is concerned have for him an
abiding and commanding interest, and his well-established capacity for
safely and successfully administering them has made him the choice of
his people for offices of great trust and responsibility. He was treasurer
of his county from 189.5 to 1890, and was elected to the State Legisla-
ture in 1900. In politics, Mr. Newton has alwa.vs been a Republican,
but he has the umiualiliod est»H>m of all his fellow citizens witliout
regard to party predilections, having always faithfull.v administered any
trust with which he was charged, for the general good. In the Legis-
lature he introduced and presented for passage a bill transferring to
the school fund the unclaimed .foO.OOO which figured in re<'ent legislative
history."
In 1907 Mr. Newton sold his holdings in Montana and returned to
Ohio, purchasing a home in l\Iarietta. where his children are being
educated in high school and college. He also has a fine farm in the
Muskingum Valley, Ohio, thus combining the advantages of city and
country life. His children are :

river." April 10, 1805, he moved from Ohio and settled in Wisconsin.
In 1809 his home was in Madison, Wis., which place continued to be his
residence until about 1900, when he went to live with his daughter, Mrs.
■ Brown, in Milwaukee, then aged about 85, "in good health and memory,
but somewhat deaf." Mr. Newton was a captain and colonel in the Ohio
iMilitia, and was out in the Civil War — assisted to drive the rebel Morgan
out of the state. His children all died before becoming of age, except the
three here given ;
0874. 1. Martha A.', b. , 1845; m. January. 1803, Daniel S. Slater. He
was a soldier in the Civil War, enlisting 18(il in the three months
service, and when mustered out, his guardian made him stay out and
complete his trade. The next year. May, 1802, he started" to go to
Nashville, Tenn., to enlist in the same company with his brother. They
were captured by General Morgan's men, parolled, and sent home with
a number of soldiers on furlough. There joining the militia, he helped
capture some of Morgan's men in their raid through Ohio. November,
1S03, he enlisted in the ISIh Oliio Voluutwn- Infantry, and was mustered
out at the close of tlie war. Mr. and Mrs. Slater were living in 1910,
at No. 050 North Kalamazoo Ave., Marshall, Mich. Children not sent

[This record of Mr. Newton's children leaves much to be desired. From
the data given, I sui>pose one of these daughters is the wife of Dr. L. S.
Brown. She "has always lived in Madison, Wis., until Nov. 24, 1909,
her husband died, and she is now here [January, 1910, Jlilwaukee] at her
daughter's, Mrs. G. E. Morton, No. 271 Twenty-fourth St.. Milwaukee."

Westminster, Mass. P. R. lie married at Hubbardston, Mass., January 12.
1792.
6900. ELIZABETH WOOD NEWTON, whose parentage I have failed to
find. That she was not a widow is evidenced in the declaration of her son that
he wished to have his name changed from Hunting to his mother's maiden name
of Newton. In the record of the births of her children she is designated as
"Elizabeth W." Hunting. Some one will know her parentage. The brother
of Moses Hunting", Stephen Hunting^, married Polly Newton, whom I suppose,
from the agreement of birth date and age at death, to be the daughter of Ezekiel
Newton^ (4822). How nearly related were Elizabeth W. and Polly Newton does
not appear. Because the posterity of Moses Hunting, Jr., bear the name of
Newton it is well to show when the change of name was accomplished.
Mr. and Mrs. Hunting lived in Hubbardston, Mass., where their children were
born, and where she died May 1, 1814. and later he moved to Westminster, where
he died — the death is not recorded in either town. He had been a soldier of the
Revolution, and was a pensioner of that war. Their children were:

6901. MOSES IHTNTING«-NEWTON, son of Moses and Elizabeth Wood
(Newton) Hunting of Hubbardston, Mass., was born there October 23, 1792,
and died at Francestown, N. II., January 31, 1877, aged 84. The historian of
Francestown writes of him: "When 19 or 20 years of age he came to Frances-
town, N. H., and petitioned the Legislature of that State to have his name
changed to Moses Newton, his mother's maiden name. His early home was in
Hubbardston, Mass., and he had resided awhile in Westminster, Mass., also in
Alexandria, N. II., but he came to Francestown, N. II., from Bennington, N. H.,
in 1818. He lived several years on the Asa Kempt place in Francestown, and
on the Billings place on "Bullard Hill." He afterward crossed the town line
into Bennington, N. IL, but returned and spent his last days in Francestown,
his home being the present (18 — ) residence of Miss Almira Kempt.
In 1909, a lady writes me: "The vacant house of Moses Newton stands there
still — a pretty cottage home, with its fields going to waste, and the woodland
growing up around it" — and, before 1877, "He was then living with his daughter,
but died a few months later." He married Olive Kempt, daughter of Asa and
Alice (Nutting) Kempt of Francestown, N. H., where she was bom about 1796,
and where she died May 11, 1809, aged 73. Of the children, the first two died
young, the others became adults, and with their posterity have continued to hold
the surname of Newton.
Elizabeth Wood Newton was probably in the sixth generation from Richard
Newton of Sudbury. And since her husband surely was in the sixth generation
from the immigrant Hunting, I will for convenience number their children in
the seventh generation. The children were:

PART II. REV. ROGER NEWTON
WITH ITS INDEX
1. REV. ROGER NEWTON' came early to America. In 1640 he was in the
Senior class at Harvard University. He studied theology with Rev. Thomas
Hooker of Cambridge, Mass., and Hartford, Conn., and married his daughter.
He founded the church at Farmington, Conn.; was its first minister; was
ordained October 13, 1652, the day the church was organized. "About a month
after, Mrs. Newton, . . ., also joined with them." He remained there until
1657, when he was dismissed, went to Boston in October of that year to embark
for England. "The Ship in which he had talvcn passage, with another for the
same destination, was detained several days by head winds, and he was invited
by letter to town on a special service. A lamentable superstition, encouraged by
the Shipmaster and some others, as in Hall's diary, page 185, is told, to consent
to liis leaving the voyage, 'as thinking his presence some cause of the cross-
wind.' I hope he got passage, without contrary winds on a later ship." After
returning, he went to Milford, Conn., over which church he was installed August
22, 1G60, its second pastor. He died there June 7, 1683. His will was dated
in March, 1683. In it he mentions eight children. [The sisters Hannah and
Joan are not mentioned — may be of the other branch in Connectifcut.]
He married at Hartford, Conn., sometime between 1643 and 1645, Mary
Hooker, eldest daughter of Rev. Thomas Hooker* of Hartford, Conn., and his
wife Mrs. Susan Hooker (who was I suppose a sister of Edward Hopkins,
Governor of Connecticut).
The will of Gov. Edward Hopkins of Connecticut, dated at his house in
London, March 7, 1657, gives "To eldest child of Mrs. Mary Newton, wife of
Mr. Roger Newton of Farmington, and daughter of Mr. Thomas Hooker,
deceased, thirty pounds." also "To Mrs. Susan Hooker, the relict of M' Thomas
Hooker, all such debts as are due to me from her upon the Account I left in
New England." [For the will of Gov. Edward Hopkins, see N. E. Hist. Gen.
Reg. Vol. 38.] Mrs. Newton died Jvine 7, 1683. Her children, mentioned in
the will of their father were :
2. ti. ' SAM^JEL^ bapt. 1646. 6. tv. Ezekiei,% bapt. IGGO.
3. tii. Rogee', b. . 7. tvi. Sabah=, bapt. 1602.
4. tiii. SuSANNA^ b. . 8. vii. Alice-, bapt. 1004.
5. tiv. Johns bapt. 1056. 8a. viii. Mabt% b. .
• Rev. Thomas Hookeb' arrived in New England Sept. 3, 1633, and settled at Cambridge,
Mass. He removed to Hartford, Conn.. July, 1G36, and died there July 7, 1647, aged 61.
Mr. Hooker had been the pastor of the people who were settled at Newtown (Cambridge) in
old England ; to escape fines and imprisonment he had fled to Holland ; the people at Cam-
bridge sent for him to come to them, which he did, bringing with him a large company of
colonists. The conditions at Cambridge not being to their liking, "Early in the Summer of
1636, Mr. Hooker and Mr. Stone, and about one hundred men, women and children, composing
the whole of Mr. Hooker's congregation," migrated overland to Connecticut, where "They
arrived safe, and laid the foundations of Hartford." Mr. Stone was assistant minister,
"teacher." so styled. Rev. Thomas Hooker "was considered one of the most able theologians
of his day." and the writer of many books. His wife. Susanna, survived him. Six of their
children became adults and married. Their names were : 1. John', b. in England ; m. there ;
was a clergyman there of the Established Church. 2. Joanna', b. in England ; came to
America ; wife of Rev. Thomas Shepard of Cambridge. 3. Mary', b. in England ; m. Rev.
Roger Newton. 4. Sarah', b. in England ; m. Rev. John Wilson of Boston, Mass. 5. ,
a dau. who m. and became a widow. 6. SamueP, sup. to have been b. in Cambridge in 1635 ;
graduated 1653 from Harvard College ; settled in the ministry at Farmington, Conn., 1661,
and continued pastor of that church until his death in 1697. He had eleven children ; one
was Mary^ wife of Rev. Mr. Pierpont of New Haven, Conn., and mother of Sarah', wife of
Jonathan Edwards.

Mr. Newton was a clergyman, who went out about 1820 as a missionary

a family, the other members being one male upward of sixteen years, two males
under sixteen years, and two females. He was a soldier of the Eevolution.

two miles north of the village. As a soldier of the Revolution, he was out with
his brother against Burgoyne in 1777, and is probably the Revolutionary pensioner
of Greenfield who died September 22, 1834, aged 84 years. He married .

uncle. [Their taxes ranged much the same — each had an 80-rod lot; houses and
out buildings 375, 350, 300 (the Eev. uncle not taxed). John^, Jr.'s, other real
estate was 2,400 (acres I suppose), Capt. Isaac's 3,500.] He married and had

five sons, was born in Durham, Conn., May 12, 1737, and died at Greenfield, Mass.,
December 10, 1816, in his 80th year. He married in Connecticut, in 1702, Abi-
gail Hall of Middletown, Conn. She was received into the Greenfield Church,
in January, 1764, and was the mother of eight children — "five sons and three
daughters." I have not the date of her death.
Extract from "A Sermon delivered at the dedication of the South Congrega-
tional Church in Durham, Conn., December 29, 1847. By William C. Fowler,"
contains the following in regard to Rev. Roger Newton* and his forebears : "He
was a descendant of the Rev. Roger Newton, minister of the First Church of
Famiington and afterwards of Milton, and he inherited the virtues of that
excellent man. His parents were Mr. Abner and Mrs. Mary Newton. They
were respected for their prudence and piety, and their discreet management of
their domestic concerns, and the virtuous education of their children."
Rev. Roger Newton, D.D., was educated at Yale College, Class of 1758 ; was
called to the pastorate of the First Congregational Church at Greenfield, Mass.,
where he was ordained and settled November 18, 1761. His salary was fixed
at £133-6s-8d, and sixty loads of wood, a house lot of eighty rods, and was to
be exempt from taxes. He continued in this pastorate until he died in 1816 —

fifty-six years. He kept a diary dui-ing tlieso years, part of which was rescued
from a dumping barrel, and is to be seen in print in the N. E. Hist. Gen. Keg.
of 1908. From this diary I have taken the baptisms of liis children given below.
He received the degi-ee of D.D. from Dartmouth College in 1804.
"He was a man of uncommon strength of mind and of a pacific disposition, and
was much employed as counselor in cases of diificulty in churches." Some of his
peculiar characteristics are given in the history of the town. It is stated he
was inclined to the loyalist side in the great Revolution — 1776. The diary has
among the baptisms, "Sept. 20, 1707. Isaac, my son, & Tinner, my negro Girl."
The children were all baptized by himself. Their birth-dates probably are on
the town records of Greenfield.
190. i. RoGEii", the oldest son, bapt. July 3, 1703 ; "fell a victim of the consumption
and died at the agei of 26." He was a graduate of Yale College in the
Class of 1785, and was a tutor in that institution when he died. '"He was
a gentleman of great excellence of character and of great promise in the
profession of law. which he had chosen."

ISAAC NEWTON emigrated from Durham, Conn., to Greenfield, Mass., and
later removed to Leno.x, Mass. [Ilist of Durham, Conn.]
ISAAC NEWTON, a married man. died in Beckct, Mass., June 25, 1844, aged
75. [Becket to^vn records.]
198. ISAAC NEWTON [whom I suppose to be identical with the two named
above, and a descendant of Rev. Roger NewHon^], married in Connecticut,
Southmaid, "who was Scotch. There are [1911] a number of her people
living in and around Middletown, Conn."
"Isaac Newton owned a large tract of land in and around Lenox, and was
considered well off, for those times. He died, I think, in Becket, Mass." "He
had six children." "He came to Stockbridge, Mass., do not know when." The
children were seven, namely:
199. i. DwKinT, b. ; kept a hotel in Westfield, Mass., and it is thought by
his family to have d. there.
200. ii. HiRAir, b. ; m. Mary A. Turner. "He was a Doctor and lived until
his death in Lenox." He had a son :

75 yrs.
202. iii. Abner, b. .

was seven years old. This son,
205. 2. Isaac J., b. ; m. ; was living and in business. 1911. in Lenox, on

birthdates, and convenience places him here, as I know not the order of
their eomingl. "He was either born or lived in his younger days in
Melrose, Mass." "He married in Stockbridge, i\Ia.ss., in 1820, Almira P.
Clark, and then moved to Lenox, where his father had been living for .some
time." Soon after his marriage he moved with his family to Ohio, and
. took up land. Not being contented there they returned to Lenox, and
later joined a New York colony, and settled at Fulton, Oswego County,
N. Y. He had six sons, two of whom, Samuel and .James, died in infancy
and four who were living in 1011. Namely :
210-213. 1, William; 2, I.iaacj 3, Henry; 4, Ca.i.Hvs Wchslcr.

*^ f3/^ 438. JOSEPH NEWTON* (Thomas\ Jolm=, Eev. Rogeri) of Cheshire and
Wallingford, Conn., appears on the Church records at Clieshire and on the town
records of Wallingford, Conn. (See pp. 724 and 725.) Mrs. E. L. Roberta of
Buffalo, N. Y., contributes what little information we have regarding his family.
The following from her letter of recent date I have given in full. She sent
me no dates by which to verify; but since Joseph'' could not have been bom
the same year with his father (1734 or thereabout) I have not placed him as
the son of Thomas, Jr.* : "To-day came a letter in answer to one of mine which
has solved my Newton query — for his ancestor, Jared, was a brother of iny
Joseph, and they were sons of Thomas, Jr., and Sarali (Leet) Newton. Thomas
Newton married Mary Baldwin, dau. of Zacharia. He was the son of John
and Lydia (Ford), and John was son of Rev. Roger — bom in Farming-ton 1656."
His name appears in tlie United States Census, 1790, the head of a family at
Cheshire, Conn., the otlier members being three females. He married August
22, 1755, Sarah Hull, who had four children and died. He married (2) June 13,
1770, Mrs. Esther Sperry and had one daughter. His wife died April 28, 1797.
He died August 28, 1797. Children:

217. tii. Aaron% b. Feb. 22, 1702; m. Aseneth Morse.
218. iii. Abner-. b. May 28, 17()4; was head of a family at Cheshire, Conn., in the
U. S. Census. 1790; the only other member was probably his wife. [Could
not lie have been the father of Abner Nelson Newton of East Windsor?]
219. iv. Merkiman=, b. April 17, 1769.
220. V. ESTHER=, b. April 18, 1773.
216. 1. CAPT. JOEL NEWTON^ (probably son of Joseph* above), from
Cheshire, Conn., moved to Salisbury, Vt., in 1784, and settled in West Salisbury,
Vt. "All of his descendants are said to have emigratetl to the West." The First
United States Census, 1790, shows him there head of a family, the other
members being one male upward of sixteen years, two males under sixteen
years, and two females. He married Mrs. Ruth (Nichols) Manning of Man-
chester, Vt., widow of Billy Manning of that town, who died 1814. "She was
born, it is said, in 1756," and died at Salisbury, Vt., in 1833. He had been a
soldier of the Revolution, in the Connecticut troops, private in Capt. Bunnell's
Company of Wallingford, Col. Douglas regiment. His title of "Capt." prob-
ably came from being in command, later, of Vermont Militia.

He married (2) Esther . They had no children. She married (2) in
1824, Solomon Morris of Warsaw, N. Y.. and had children. Alfred J. Newton

be a brother of Capt. Joel Newton (21C) of Salisbury, Vt.], married at Randolph,
Vt., March — , 179-, Olive , and, had there the following children (recorded
in Book A, p. 138) :
REV. ROGER NEWTON 713

245. vi. Dolly, b. .Tan. 20, 1808.
246. OLIVE NEWTON of Brattleboro, Vt [perhaps the same with 242
above, I put them together for comparison], married George Washington Lane,
who was born September 29, 1789, and had married (1) Sallie Osterhant, who
died in 1818, leaving two children. After his second marriage the family moved
to Montrose, Susquehanna County, Pa., "and had seven or eight children."
247. CALVIN NEWTON of Enfield, Conn., was "admitted to be one of the
electors of this state, April 2, 1838," at Enfield, Hartford County, Conn. His
name thereafter appears frequently on the records of that town. Selectman,
1839; abatement of taxes 1840, 1843, 1844. The church records there show
the death of the following children :
248. i. LlNNETTA G., d. 1844, aged 8 yrs.
249. ii. Francis H., d. 1^44, aged 2 yr.s.
250. iii. Chahles S., d. 1844, aged G week.s.
251. MR. NEWTON' (not traced) liad the following children, who proliably
all came from Chemung County, N. Y., to Tioga County, Pa., and settled on
Long Run, a tributary of Pine Creek, in Tioga County, Pa. The place was on
the boundary line between the two states. The descendants of this Mr. Newton
know nothing of him and but little of the children except their names, and
that one was a half brother, whether Newton or by second man'iage of the
mother is not known. The children were :
252. i. Calvin Newton=, b. ; m. (1) ; m. (2) "perhaps about 1830,"
Hannah Bacon,* daughter of Danie! Harvey Bacon (by hi.s first wife) of
Farminglon, Conn. A very old uncle of the descendants — name not given,
writes all he knows of the family as follow.s : "Calvin Newton intro-
duced hiniKelf by giving his name, adding he was brother-in-law of
rhillips, who lived on Tine Creek. Soon after he married Hannah Bacon,
and in about a year he settled on Long Run, a tributary of I'ine Creek in
Tioga County, Pa., where I found them in tlie fall of 1842. I found them
on my return from a 3% years residence in Candor, N. Y. At this time
he had a son 8 to 11 years old, and also a daughter had come from
somewhere and had married Russell Hewitt [the old man's unsteady hand
seems to make the name Hewitt]. In the meantime Newton had a brother,
253. ii. MosES=, with a son 10 to 14 years old, who settled near him. in the woods.
There came with Jloses, a sister whose mind was not quite right. Her
name was
• As perhaps giving a chie to the nativity of Calvin Newton and his brother Moses Newton,
the pedigree of Hannah Bacon is not without point, namely : the first of the line known is
William Bacon', Stretton. England, 1(108.
Nathaniel Bacon=, b. Kutland, England, lGOl-2 ; emigrated to Connecticut, 1648. and with
others founded Middletown, Conn., in 1G.50.
Andrew Bacon', b. .Tune 4, lOBG, in Middletown. Conn.
Joseph Bacon«, b. April 20, 1706, in Middletown, Conn.

New York Harbor, 1777. a
Daniel Harvey Bacon", b. Oct. 30. 1766, in Farmington, Conn. ; m. twice, and hy first
wife had, Hannah\ b. in Candor, N. Y.. Aug. 10, 1809 ; m. Calvin Newton about 1830, and
moved to Wisconsin about 1850 to 1855. By second wife he had Homer Bacon'', who is father
of Mr. J. F. Bacon», in the real estate business at White City, Kans., who contributes this
family of Newtons.

home with Moses, and I believe all came from Chemung Co., N. Y. After
Moses settled on Long Hun he married Jerusha"' (we cannot make
out the name).
Thus it would appear that Calvin Newton, m. (1) and had two children;
m. (2) Hannah Bacon and had seven children, whose names, without dates,
were copied from a record made more than 50 years ago. I understand that
Calvin Newton, his wife Hannah and the five younger children removed to
Wisconsin between the years 18.50 and 1855. As a family they seem to be
lost to their other relatives. Perhaps the above may serve to help find
them. The children were :
256-257. 1, Uhaiiottej 2, Nancy (both remained in the cast and died there).
258-262. 3, lihoda; 4, Julia Annj 5, Uclissa; 6, Ehcnczor; 7, Oliver.

she was living with her sister in Woodbridge. Conn., when her son Eben came for
her, and she went with him to his home in Ohio, where she died.

In 1807 he returned to Connecticut, where he taught school a few years, mar-
ried and had two sons. In 181:5 he removed to Hudson, Ohio, taking his family
with him. After a few years there he settled on a farm in Richfield — a town
about ten miles from Hudson, Ohio — where he became a successful farmer,
accumulating quite a competence.
He was genial and social in temperament. He and his wife united with the
Presbyterian Church at Richfield, and were devout and humble Christians. At
the age of 50 years he was elected to the Assembly of Ohio; was also Associate
Judge under tlie Constitution of 1802 (Ohio) and held other ofiices of the county.
He was devotedly attached to his children, and when three of them, attacked
with dysentery, died within ten days, he became almost insane through grief.
He had not recovered from the blow, although ten years had elapsed, when three
other of his little ones were taken from him within a week's time, through
scarlet fever. He died at his home in Richfield, in peace and faith at last,
aged 81 years. His children were:

with and assisted liis mother as he could. He taught school several terms and
did other work, all the time studying for self-improvement, as he desired to
become a lawyer. In 1814 he left Connecticut for Hudson, Ohio, going to the
homes of his brothers and sister there. They gave him employment in their
stores, in the intervals of his teaching. In 1820 he returned to Connecticut and
brought back with him to Ohio his mother, who remained the rest of her life in
his homo.
The last six months of Mr. Newton's law studies were spent with Mr. Jonathan
Sloane of Ravenna. Ohio, where he met Mr. Elisha Whittlesay, lawyer, Congress-

law business. He accepted the offer and went to Canfield, July 4, 1823, and was
admitted to the bar in August, 1823. Mr. Whittlesay went to Washington, D. C,
leaving his large law practice in Mr. Newton's hands. In 1843 Mr. Newton
was elected President Judge of the Circuit Court (six counties). In 1841 he
was elected to the Ohio State Senate, serving two terms. In 1850 he was elected
to Congress. In 1803 he was again State Senator. He was a Whig in politics,
a patriot during the Civil War, a Presbyterian. He had always the confidence
of his co-laborers and of the community. His home was in Canfield, where he

70(; NEWTON GENEALOGY
The town records at Wallingford (which is about eleven miles southeast of
Cheshire) show the death of the second Thomas Newton as "Marcli 20, 1779
aged 45," and of "Chloe, wife of Thomas Newton," died "March 17, 1823, aged
80," probably the same person and someone's error as to her age.
The church records of Cheshire contain, besides : the man-iage of Jared New-
ton and Mai'y Bunnell, January 15, 1778; Samuel Newton and Hannah Rice,
November 5, 1782 ; Cyrus Newton and Anna Willcocks, June 4, 1777 ; Capt.
James Newton and widow Mary Barnard, January — , 1734 (Town Eec.) ; Rev.
Roger Newton and "Mrs." Abigail Hall. (Town Rec.) ; and the birth
of Lyman, son of Moses and Eunice Newton, April 8, 1759 (Town Rec.).
Mr. Orlando L. Newton, Jr., of "Westkill, N. Y., in 1907 writes that his great-
grandfather was Thomas Newton, Jr., and his grandfather was John Newton,
and says "they were a large family." He did not send the data he offered to
send. The widow of his brother, 1907, at Albany, N. Y., states further : "My
husband's great-grandfather lived in Cheshire to'm'i, Conn. He had two sons,
Amos and John, who married sisters. John (who was grandfather Newton),"
etc.
The United States Census. 1790. shows as heads of families in Cheshire, Conn.,
Joseph, Jared, Abner, and Chloe Newton. And Aaron Newton in Wallingford,
Conn. The only children known to me as such were:

survived him 44 years, and was the head of her family in the Census of 1790
at Cheshire, the whole family being one male upward of sixteen years, two males
vuider sixteen years, and three females. His "was a large family according to
report," is the statement of his ^eat-grandson. Only the sons, Amos and John,
are we sure of, and very probably of Silas.

455. JONAS NEWTONi of Doylcstown, Bucks County, Pa. (not traced),
was born in Addison County, Vt., town not given, May 3, or 23, 1787, and died
at Philadelphia, Pa., February 3, 1827, aged 40.
He married Sarah Vander\'eer, daughter of Petrus Van der Veer and wife —
name unknown — who lived near Princeton, N. J. She was born at Doylestown,
Pa. (also "in Somerset Co., N. J.," is given), March 9, 1788, and died June 25,
1836, aged 48.
[The descendants of this Jonas Newton have no knowledge of his parentage,
nor whence they came. There were living in 1790, in Addison County, Vt., five
Newtons who were lieads of families as enumerated in the First United States
Census. The town of Addison had John (family 1-0-1), John, Jr. (family 1-1-1),
Lemuel (family 2-0-3) ; at Salisbury, Capt. Joel (family 2-2-2) ; Shoreham had
Liberty (faiuily 2-0-3), who is accounted for. Jonas Newton being born 1787,
would bo under sixteen years in 1790, and his parents must have been one of
those men above who had such a son, namely either John Newton, Jr., or Capt.
Joel Newton. Inasmuch as the name "Joel" is not repeated in his descendants
and the name "John" runs through every generation of them, I should infer
that the father of Jonas was John, Jr., son of John, and it is quite possible
they came from Connecticut, and were related to Capt. Joel Newton. I make
the proposition — one must have a premise from which to start — "even an error
is better than nothing."]
Jonas Newton' was settkxl in Doylestown, Pa., for as long ago as any of the
family now living have knowdedge of. "That town being regarded as the family
home in his day and generation." "Lie was a storekeeper near Doylestown,
Penn." The family think his children were all born there. For the correct list
of his children we are indebted to the family Bible that belonged to bis son,
Eev. John Newton, Sr., missionary to India. It is now in the family of bis
son, Rev. Edward Payson Newton. There was also a Birthday text-book witli
the Bible, which furnished data. It comes, as it were, from the uttermost parts
of the world. Children:

escaped becoming a millionaire. As his children were all b. at Cherry Tree,

daughter of Francis Janvier of Princeton, N. J. She was born October 11. 1812,
presumably at Princeton, N. J., and died at Sabathn, Punjab, India, September
2, 1857.
He married (2) at Lahore. India, March 22, 1800, Eliza Hornbuckle.
Rev. John Newton'-, D.D. was one of the pioneers of the mission work of the
Presbyterian Churcli in India. He went out in 1835, and died in 1891, after
fifty-six years of missionary service. His six children were born in India; the
four sons returned to India as missionaries after being educated in the United
States, and the two daughters married missionaries. Only one of these is now
living (1912).
I quote the following from "The Encyclopedia of Missions," 2d edition, 1904,
p. 536 — a short sketch of the life and work of this good man:
"Dr. Newton went to India as a missionary of the Board of Foreign Mi,ssions
of the Presbyterian Church of the U. S. A., in 1835, arriving at Calcutta in
June of that year, accompanied by Rev. Jaiues Wilson and his wife. Setting
out from Calcutta in a native boat on the Ganges they began their long journey
of 1,200 miles to their chosen field at Ludhiana.*
• Ludhiana : A town in the Ludhiana District of the Punjab. India, situated about three
miles south of Sutlej River, and seventy-throe miles southeast hy east of Amritar. Altitude.
S12 feet. Population in l.Sdl. 4n,:!0(i. of whom ?.o,;1(m) are Jluslims and 13.000 Hindus. Station
of the Presliyterian North India Mission (l.s:U), with (100:!» four missionaries and their
wives, six missionary women, fifty-four native workers, nine out-stations, nine places of
worship, forty Sunday schools, tour day schools, tvvo boarding schools, one industrial school.
730 MOWTOX GENEALOGY
His labors were various. Always foremost with him was the direct preaching
of the Worrl, and that hand-to-hand effort by conversation with individuals,
which he felt to be one of the missionary's most effective methods. He was a
powerful and attractive preacher, both in English and in the vernaculars.
Dr. Newton took with him when he first went to India an old-fashioned wooden
printing-press, which he set up in a little house secured for the purpose, and
thus laid the foundation for that publishing establishment which, during the
next fifty years, was destined to issue about two hundred and sixty-seven million
pages in ten different languages.
In this literary work, Dr. Newton throughout his missionary career was emi-
nent. The Panjabi language is indebted to him for the foundation of its
religious literature.
Besides the translation of the New Testament into Punjabi and numerous
tracts in that language, his literary labors, with those of his associate. Rev. L.
Janvier, included a Punjabi granunar and dictionary, a commentary on Ephe-
sians in Urdu, and important tracts in both Urdu and Hindi.
From the Ludhiana Mission, of which Dr. Newton was then the senior mis-
sionary, was issued in 1858 that call to the observance of the week of prayer,
which has since become so widespread and so fixed a custom throughout the
Christian world."
"Punjabi or Sikh Version. The Punjabi belongs to the Indie branch of the
Aryan family of languages, and is spoken in the Province of Punjab, North
India. A translation of the Bible into this language was undertaken by Seram-
pore missionaries at a very early period, and was iiublished in 1811. In 1S.')2
a second edition was undertaken. Of the Old Testament only Genesis to Ezekiel
was translated and published since 1820.
A new translation was undertaken by Rev. J. Newton in connection with
American missionaries, and in 1850 Genesis, Exodus, the Psalms, and the New
Testament were published by the British and Foreign Bible Society at Lodiana,
India." [Same, p. 263.]
It is a pleasure to record an abstract of the life and work of this excellent
family. The children of Rev. John Newton- (Jonas') were born in India.

versity of Pennsylvania, at Philadelphia, and was graduated ; after which he
went to India independently of the Board of Missions ; became a member of
the Mission in 1860, and was afterward ordained to the ministry, in the Pres-
bytery at Lodiana, India; but from 1866-1880, he was stationed at Sabathn,
where he had a dispensary.
After Dr. Newton was stationed there, the Poor-house at Sabathn — established
forty years before — became the Leper Asylum. As a physician he took special
interest in the lepers and experimented with the view of discovering some medi-
cine that might arrest the progress of the disease.
He built several houses near the mission-house that he might the more effec-
tively ministe'r to the patients, considering them not as medical patients only, but
as the poor who needed the gospel; he had a small building erected, which
served the double purpose of a dispensary and a chapel, where the lepers
assembled daily for worship.
Dr. Newton was an earnest preacher, skillful physician, and an excellent
writer. Though of a scholarly tuni, he was much engaged in itineration,
bazaar preaching, and labor among the soldiers of the local garrison. His most
responsible charge was the Leper Asylum, having eighty-nine inmates. A mis-
sionary associate thus speaks of him after his death: "No love in the dark
world has ever seemed to me so much like the Saviour's as that of Dr. Newton
for his lepers."
Dr. Newton died of cancer of the stomach, after a period of great suffering.
The funeral was numerously attended by Europeans and natives. Soldiers who
loved him carried the casket from the house to the cemetery. His father read a
part of the Episcopal service, closing with an address. The Mission say of him:
"His fine endowments, thorough knowledge of the language, great devotion to
the work, make his removal a severe loss to the missionary cause."

(2) at Saharanpore, India, Jessie Dunlap, who died August 2, 1905, at Chatta-
nooga, Tenn.
Dr. Newton, like the other members of his father's family, became a mission-
ary to India. For his i^reparatory course, he went through the ''Classical and
Commercial High School" at Lawrenceville, N. J.; then entered Washington
College, at Washington, Pa.; lost a year by entering the army (Civil War) and
returning was graduated in 1864. From college he entered the Theological Semi-
nary at Allegheny, Pa., "The Western Theological Seminary" — and was graduated
in the spring of 1867. He went to India as a missionary in October of the
same year — 1867. He received the degree of D.D. from his college.
At the beginning of the Civil War, being then in college and about twenty
years old, Mr. Newton enlisted for three years in the Fifteenth regiment of the
Pennsylvania Volunteer Cavalry. The regiment went to Harrisburg, Pa., and
thence to Carlisle to be drilled, in August, 1862. While there, Gen. R. E. Lee
invaded Maryland, and the regiment was hurried to the front and took part in
tlie battle of Antietam. After Lee was driven back into Virginia, the regiment
was sent to join Rosecrans' army of the Cumberland at Nashville, Tenn. At
Nashville, Mr. Newton was taken ill with tyjihoid fever, and through the aid
of Rev. Mr. Scott of the Christian Commission, was discharged and taken home
to Steubcnville. Ohio. After a long and nearly fatal illness of two months he
regained his health, taught school in West Virginia, and in the fall (of 1862)
again entered the college from which he had enlisted, having served about six
months.
Returning to his native India in 1868, a missionary, he has now been in that
service over forty-five years.

■July 24, 1847, at Sabatlui, India; died April 2S. 1911. aged nearly 64, at Jul-
lundur City, India. He married at Ludhiana, India, November 28, 1870, Helen
Reed, or Frances Reed of Chambersburg, Pa.
Mr. Newton, a clerg-yman, a physician and a missionary, had his preparatory
education in Taunton, England, and entered Washington College, at Washing-
ton, Pa., in the fall of 18G3, with his brother (who was reentering after his six
months war service). Ho left Washington College and went to Jefferson Col-
lege, finally going back, and was graduated ircnn "Washington and Jefferson,"
when the two colleges were united into one. He went to the "Western Theologi-
cal Seminary," at Allegheny, Pa., and thence went to India as a missionary.
After ten years there, he returned to America and studied medicine in the
Jefferson Medical College at Philadelphia, Pa., receiving the degree of M.D. (as
had also his brother, John, the same).
Going to India in 1870, ho had completed at the time of his death more than
forty years of missionary service. Speaking the language like the natives,
knowing the mind and heart of the people tliorovighly, loving India as his own
land. Dr. F. J. Newton was a missionary of the truest type. To bring sufferers
to his own house and care for them with his own hands by day and by night,
was such service as it was his delight to render.
Firozpur (Ferozepore), India, is a city in the Punjab, situated on the old high
bank of the Sutloj River, three and one-half miles from its present bed, and
forty-seven miles S.S.E. of Lahore. The capital of a populous district, the
climate is regarded as exceptionally healthful. The population in 1891 was
.50,000. A missionary station of the Presbyterian Church, 1882, had in 1902
four missionaries men and women, one of them a physician ; two dispensaries
and two hospitals. In this city he was doing the work that he loved when he
was obliged to lay it down forever.
Dr. Newton returned to the United States much broken in health in the spring
of 1910, but recovered sufficiently to go back to India in the fall. He was coun-
selled to lay aside all active work, but he thought he felt better when busy.
During the winter he had violent attacks of fever and ague and collapsed, and
went to his brother in Jullundur only to lie down and die. He was taken to
Ferozepore and buried tJiere the same day. An immense concourse of the city
people attended the funeral, both Hindus and Mohammedans. It is said "There
is not and never has been a man in our Mission who has been so enshrined in
the hearts of the natives as he was."
His four children were:
517. i. William', b. ; d. when about to enter Princeton College.
518. ii. Helen', b. ; living in 1912; m. Aylmer B. Gould, a missionary at
Jullundur, India. Tliey had five children.

Baptist Missionary Convention to the Tombas, Africa; born 1844; died July 20.
1894. His body was buried in the ocean about 240 miles from Lagos. He was
a laborious, deeply pious, and successful missionary. His wife preceded him to
her heavenly home only by a few months. Both died from exposure to the terri-
ble climate. These two have a special claim to remembrance by the church to
which they belonged, in that they helped greatly in the reestablishment of South-
ern Baptist Missions in Africa, after the interruption caused by the Civil War
in America.

PART III. THOMAS OF FAIRFIELD
WITH ITS INDEX
1. "THOMAS NEWTONi of Fairfield. Conn.." came from England dur-
ing the summer or early autumn of 1639 and settled at Fairfield, Conn., in New
Haven County. He was a caq:)enter. The date of his birth has not been dis-
covered. He died prior to May 28, 1683.
The late Mr. Newton Lull of Chicago, 111., gathered (and had printed) from
the early archives of Connecticut many facts in regard to this Thomas Newton,
who was his ancestor, giving the authority for each statement. It is a valuable
compilation and is easily accessible. I shall quote from it here only enough for
"a setting of the stage," as it wore, and to show the descent from him of those
I have gathered.
"The tract of land purchased by Eoger Ludlow for the town of Fairfield
embraced within its boundaries the Uncoway and Sasqua rivers, the fine harbors
of Poquonnock and Black Rock, and a good harbor at Sasqua." — From History
of Fairfield.
John Green testified November 28. 1(172, "that about the first settling of the
town of Fairfield, Thomas Staples, Thomas Newton, Edward Jessop, and
Edmund Strickland, having home-lots in y'^ rear of y" lots that M' Ludlow's lot
lay in." The Town Book of Deeds would indicate that Thomas Newton was
one of the four men who came with Ludlow to Fairfield in the autumn of 1639.
In 1644 Newton was elected deputy for the town. In 1645 he was elected deputy
of the General Court. "Thomas Newton, Widower of Dorothea Newton," mar-
ried March 31, 1648, Joan Smith, by William Hark (or Hart), then sheriff of
Flushing, "against the consent of the woman's parents, and without being
legally authorized to do so by the Supreme Authority," and because of this
"the indecent marriage" was declared null and void, and to prevent other daugh-
ters mari-j'ing without the consent of their parents, everybody concerned was fined
and the marriage again solemnized after three publishments of the banns, and
the culprit Sheriff dismissed from office. Joan Smith was the daughter of Rich-
ard Smith, Sr., who was a prominent man in his day, a friend and neighbor
of Roger Williams,* who has left quite a testimony to his merits. Richard
♦ The following testimony of Roger Williams is of historical v.iliie and every way of
interest, especially to the descendants of Thomas Newton and wife .Toan Smith :
'Trovldence, 2nd .luly, 167;) (ut vulgo).
"I Roger Williams of Pi-ovidence, in Nanhigonsett Hay. in New Kngland, l)eing (liy (iod's

God's Mercy) of sound understanding and memory, doe humbly and faithfully declare, that
Mr. Richard Smith Senr, deceased, who for his conscience toward God, left a fair possession
in Glocestershire, and adventured with his relations and estate to New England, and was
a most acceptable and prime leading man in Taunton, in Plymouth Collony, for his con-
science sake (many differences arising) he left Taunton and came to the Nahigonsili Countrey,
where, (by the mercy of (Jod and) the favour of Nahigonsik Sachims, he broke the ice (at
his great charges and hazards), and put up in the thickest of the barbarians, the first English
house amongst them.

738 NEWTON GENEALOGY
Smith was first a leading' man in Taunton, Plymoutli Colony, liut left there
for "conscience sake" and came to Connecticut, where he ]iut up the first
house- "in the thickest of the barbarians." He had considerable real estate, of
which by will, recorded August 22, 1066, ho left one-quarter to the "children
of deceased daughter Joan, sometime wife of Thomas Newton."
Mr. Newton was evidently a man who could assert himself, and was not dis-
posed to be imposed upon. Several interesting instances are recorded of him,
where he became the subject of negotiations between the Commissioners of the
United English Colonies and (lovernor Stuy\'esant, which extended over several
years, about land in Long Island.^ In 16,53 he was Sheriff of Middleburg, L. I.
I like to read the following passage about the sturdy pioneer, and quote it that
others may enjoy the picture, namely, Thomas Jeffreys and Thomas Staunton
testified as follows : "That they being at Jacob Woolversons house att the
Monhatoes the 14-24 May, 1653 betwixt 8 and 9 of the clock att supper in com-
panie with Tho. Newton the Said Thomas expressed that the house was besett;
and withall drawes his Sword and said that Peter Stuyvesant had betrayed him
and given him up to the Commissioners wee perswaded to the contrary; then
hee replyed bee was certaino of the thing for capt Newton told him soe; then
haveing his sword drawen hee said, hath Stujn'esant putt mee in Authoritie and
now betrayed mee; whosoever comes first I will run him throw." ["Capt. New-
ton" was Brian Newton, Captain-Lieutenant mider Governor Stuyvesant and a
member of his council.] Mr. Newton's wife. Joan, died in 1604. Of their chil-
dren, the following four wo know something about. The order of them may
be incorrect and then; may liavo been others.

"My great-grandfather came over from England willi tlie firsl seltlers.
Tlis name was Wiot. My grandfather's name was Nowton and v.as born
in Narragansett. My father's name was .Tanie.s Newton. He married
Hannah I>owns, my motlier. My father was 21 when he married my
niolher. She was 18. ISotli of Old Colchester.
"I was born in that town in 1760 and lived there till the age of seven
years, then my father moved to Nova Scotia, where we lived one year and
a half, then swaiiiM-d farms with one 'Harrow,' which had a lot of wild
land in Tolland, tliirty miles north of Colchester, and moved back to New
lOngland. We sailed from Ilorton, the town we lived in. and went to
Spencer's Island and there dropt amlior and had to lie there eight days
for a fair wind. Then we sailed out into the ocean. The next land we
made was Kennebec where we were detained seven days, then .sailed to
Newburyport."

THOMAS OF FAIRFIELD 745
85. DR. ASA W. NEWTON" (son of Dea. John" and Martha), born June 27,
1803; "married and at one time lived in Kentuclvy," is the statement. In a
letter written by him to his brother Ambrose, and dated "Flat Rock, July 5,
1842," he signs himself, "A. W. Newton, M.D.," mentions "My family . . .
in the enjoyment of health and we are once more blessed with a fine daughter,
who is upwards of 5 months old. My business is still flourishing and my suc-
cess in life has been far beyond my expectations. I am comfortably situated
in one of the most fertile and healthful climates upon the face of tlie globe."
From other references it would seem this home was in Kentucky, directly south
from Cincimiati, near the Tennessee line. The child above mentioned would be
at least a second daughter and born about February, 1842. We regret that we
have not more facts rog'arding this earnest Christian physician. The nanu^s only
of his children can here be given:

1759 (or 1700) ; died in the town of Hartwick, Otsego County, N. Y., in his
84th year. He married in Connecticut, Elizabeth Lee. They lived at least six-
teen years after marriage in Colchester, Conn., where their first five children
were born, and in 1804 he was in Peru, Mass., witli his family, where four more
children were born and where all of them are recorded. The last two are credited
to "James Newton and wife." [There is also in Peru the record of the death of
"Mary Newton widow of James," died in Peru, January 5, 1817. It seems to
me it should have been recorded ividoiv of John, and that this is the death of
Mary (Ilolbrook) Newton, the mother of the James Newton^, whom we are
considering. The statement concerning her is that "she died in 1818."] Mr.
James Newton^ was for many years a member of the Presbyterian Church.
He is i^robably the James Newton in New London County, Conn., enumerated
in the IT. S. Census, 1790, 1-2-1. Children:

chester, Conn.; died July 15, 1838, "on the Sabbath day," at Otsego, N. Y.
Burial there, in Metcalf Hill Cemeteiy, the public burying ground which was
on the farm then owned by the family. He married about 1789, "at the age of
24," Alsa Loomis (also written Elsie), daug'hter of John and Raeliel (Harris)
Loomis of S.alem, Conn. She was born January 19, 1709, and died August 22,
1850 (also given "Sept., 1850"), "at Cooperstown, N. Y.," or Otsego, N. Y.
Burial beside her husband. The First United States Census, 1790, shows Abel
Newton and his wife and one son in New London County, Conn. In 1794 he
removed with his family from Colchester, Conn., to Warren, Llerkimer County,

N. y. "The families of Mr. Israel Looinis, Walter Warren and Bond Bigelow
removed at the same time with him," writes his son, making the journey of
about two hundred miles with teams of oxen and carts, in eighteen days. They
bought lands and made homes from the forests. Mr. Newton and his wife united
with the Baptist Church at Warren. In March, 1837, with the family of their
son iVmasa, they removed from Warren to the to^vii and county of Otsego, N. Y.,
whore they died. His children, with the exception of the oldest, were born at
Warren, N. Y. Children were :

after mai'riage to Volney, Oswego County, N. Y., wliere he bought a farm
and re.sided ten or twelve years. Then he sold out and removed to the
town of North East, Pa., wliich was a more desirable section, where he
became a succe.ssful farmer. He left a large family of children, some of
whom went West, and some were living on the paternal estate in 1850. The
oldest daughter married and died a year or two after, at the age of 22

County. N. Y.. and lived several years after the marriage with his father,
(hu'iug wliith time ho and his wife united with the P.a|itist Church there.
Lal«T he removed to German Flats for a few years, then bought a place
in Albion,, Orleans County. N. Y.. which proved to be an unhealthy,
undesirable place, which he sold, and bought another in Elbe, Genesee
County, N. Y., where he enlarged his farm and prospered. About 1844 he
sold tlii.s farm at a high iirlco and bought in the town of Newstead, Erie
County, N. Y., where he remainp<l eight years, then once more sold out
and removed with his family to Illinois, where he died leaving an estate
something above .$10,000, and three sons and live daughters. I regret not
to be able to record these children.
127. AMASA NEWTON" (eldest son of Abel^ and Alsa), born December 14,
1789, at Colchester, Conn.; died at Afton, Rock County, Wis., August 29, 1860.
He married April 27, 1817, Elizabeth Douglas of Warren, N. Y., who bore him
ten children and died at Otsego, N. Y., Ai)ril 28, 1.853, aged 60 years. Consump-
tion. He married (2) Mrs. Mary Tlutchins of Cooperstown, N. Y., widow of
Eev. Stephen Ilutchins of the Baptist Church.
Mr. Newton was a man with a love of reading — a thirst for knowledge. The
necessity to toil could not prevent him, and being possessed of good memory
and persistence, he obtained a knowledge of good literature only possessed by
lovers of it. He united with the Baptist Church, as did his four oldest chil-
dren. Four of his sons and three of his daughters have been school teachers.
After his marriage he continued to reside on his farm in Warren, N. Y., where
all of his children were born. In 1837 he sold this farm and bought 150 acres
at Metcalf Hill, Otsego, N. Y., to which tlie family (consisting of himself,
wife, ten children, his father, mother and sister) removed. Here several of the
family died, and the venture was not a success. In 1852 he sold this farm, and
later bought one in Burlington, N. Y., to which the family removed in 1853.
In 1856 his two youngest sons were with him on this farm. In that year he

748 NEWTON GENEALOGY
ford, Conn. Sho was born about 1692, and died May 28, ITSO, in her 88th year.
The house in which they lived in Colchester was still standing in 1911 and was
occupied by a Jewish family. A picture of it shows a large two-story building
with kitchen ell and attic, in old Colonial style.
Major Xewton was a prominent man in his day and generation. He held
many offices of trust and honor in the town of Colchester, Conn., and in the
Colony: Deputy to the General Assembly for many terms. Justice of the Peace,
Captain of the train-band, apjiointed Major of the forces sent to Cape Breton,
March 14, 1745. "This Assembly grants to Israel Newton, Esq., Major of the
regiment to be raised for the exiaedition to Cape Breton, the sum of sixty pounds,
old tenour bills, or equivalent in other bills, to provide his tent, bedding, table
and other necessaries." "The 24th of April was kept through New England as a
jiublic fast, for the success of the enterprise. On the 19th of June the mourn-
ful tidings arrived that our forces had been defeated in an attack on the Island
Battery, ^vith a loss of 170 men. Major Newton of Colchester was among those
who had fallen victims to disease." The will of Major Israel Newton, "being
about to go against his Majesty's Enemies at Cape Breton," was dated April
1, 1745, and proved August 2, 1745. His children as mentioned in will were:

16G. ISRAEL NEWTON^ JR. (son of Maj. Israel''), born .
probably the oldest child, as ho was the oldest son of Major Israel Newton and
his wife Hannah (Butler) Newton of Colchester, Conn., is mentioned in his
father's will, who bequeaths to him lands, cattle and "my silver hilted sword
and to Asahel my other sword." He married April 18, 1754, Jerusha Wells,
daughter of Lieut. Noah Wells (who was an Ensign with Maj. Israel Newton
at Cape Breton, and who died in 1753). She had ten children, and died April
14, 1816. Israel Newton, Jr., died June 19, 1808. He is probably one of the
name mentioned in the United States Census, 1790. His will, dated June 4,
1808, gives to his wife what is later to go to the daughters Jerusha and Lucy,
and mentions the other children to say they have already had their portions, and
makes son Noah sole executor. He calls himself "of Colchester."
Mr. Edward S. Newton of Milwaukee, Wis., states: "My great-grandfather's
name was Israel Newton. The only record I have of this is a bill of sale of
two negro slaves to 'Israel Newton of Colchester his heirs,' etc., etc., for £150
($750), dated at Hartford, Conn., Nov. 24, 1764. I think I have heard my father
speak of him as grandfather.' " [Perhaps these were the two slaves of Asa New-
ton mentioned in the LTnited States Census, 1790.] This is one of the men,
"Israel Newton, Jr.," mentioned in the First United States Census, 1790, or
the "Jr." may have been his son Israel, who died prior to 1808, but had a famil.y.

THOMAS OF FAIRFIKLD 749
All of the men of this name in that census were undoiihtedly of this branch of
Newtons. The order of birtli of his children as here given is not correct, but
appears to bo nearest so, sujiposing tliem not to have married under twenty years,
and mindful of their order in the father's will. Children:

and 1859. Lie received his portion of his father's estate diu'ing the lifetime
of his parents and was made sole executor of his fathers will in 1808, the
witnesses of that will being Elias Worthington, Asa Newton and Samuel
Reade. lie m. in Connecticut, Oct. 21, 1802, Olive Cheney. I suppose
she is the Olive mentioned in the Cheney Genealogy, daughter of Silas
and Sarah (Ely) Cheney* of T^ast Hartford, Conn., "born Jlarch 1(!, 1774,
married Newton." From some old notes, dated 1808 and 1809,
made payable to Noah Newton at New Ijoiidon and Colchester, Conn., in
possession of this family, and the latest dated 1828, it would appear tlmt
he still lived in Colchester at the latter date. He moved to Ashtabula
County, Ohio, about 1830, and died there. His children, b. in Colchester,
Conn., were :
179. 1. Alfred 6'.» {Rcr.). b. Nov. 11, ISO:'.: d. at Norwalk, Ohio. Dec. 31, 1878.
He was a graduate from Yale T'niversity. Soon after graduation he
moved to Norwalk, Ohio, where he lived the rest of his life, a elergynian
[I suppose Congregational Churi'h]. He m., "probably at New I'restou,"
Conn., Aug. 14, 1837, Dolly Whittlesey of New I'reston, Conn., d. at
, Norwalk, Ohio, about 1888. Of their five children, the first died an
infant ; the othere were :

in Texas. lie d. in 1853, without children, at Fort Elwell.
108. ASAHEL NEWTON* (Maj. IsraeP), baptized October 15, 1732, was the
youngest son of his father, and a minor, -when his sister's estate was settled in
April, 1751. He probably died about 1800. He married April 6, 1761,
; the record .shows the date but not the name of the bride. His grand-
daughter Orrill affirms that she was a Beebe, Sarah or Jerusha Beebe, daughter
of Samuel Beebe, a descendant of Thomas Beebe of New London, an early settler
of Colchester, Conn. He resided in Colchester, where the births of the following
children are recorded. He was a sailor some part of his life, as were most
of his sons. Children :
• Silas Cheney, b. 1734 ; d. 1797. Sarah Ely, b. 1746 ; d. 1817, dau. of Capt. Richard

292. REV. ALONZO NEWTON" (son of Dudley-', AsalieP, Maj. IsraeP), born
April 3, 1822, in the town of York, near Fowlerville, N. Y. ; died at Naperville,
111., October 7, 1891 ; married at Boston Comers, N. Y., Mary A. Hemenway,
daughter of Hiram and Aurelia (Gary) Hemenway of Utica, N. Y., and Free-
port, 111. She was born at Boston, Erie County, N. Y., August 13, 1833, and
died .
Mr. Newton went to the public schof)ls and later taught in them. In the spring
of 1843 he was converted and felt called to preach. In 1844 ho entered Lima
College, where he continued his studies for several years, during which time he
was licensed to preach by the Methodist Episcopal Church, and later was an
ordained clergyman of that church. He held pastorates and lived in the follow-
ing towns: 1851, Boston Corners; 1852, Collins; 1853, Clarence; 1855, Gowanda;
1850, Williamsville; 1857, Lancaster; 1858, Covington; 1859, Ashbury and
Fowlerville; 1801, Smethport, Pa.; 1863, Maehias; 1805, Marilla and Elma;
all exempt the one in New York State, as I understand. In the autumn of 1865
he removed with his family to Illinois, and held the following charges: Council
Hill, Foreston, Lanark, Cherry Valley, Belvidere, Marengo, Woodstock, Palatine,
Kingston, Creston, Wyanet, Freedom, Mokena, Durand. Downers Grove, Naper-

ingly intere-sting history of "The Colchester, Conn.. Newton Family,
Descendants of Thomas Newton of Fairfield. Conn.. 1039." and their
settlement in New York State as contained in old family letters and many
other document.s. It was a reverent thing to do, and is well done. His
family will ever be grateful that they have so intimate a knowledge of their
forebeai-s. We all regret that we know so little of the daily life of our
ancestors, that we may come near unto them. I have been permitted to
take from this compilation the vital parts which I lacke<l to make a com-
plete whole in the many fragmentary statistics I had gathered of the
posterity of Thomas Newton of Fairfield, and I here make acknowledg-
ment, and thanks for the courtesy. Mr. Newton's children are :

295. AUROKA DUDLEY NEWTON" (Dudley'', AsaheP, Maj. IsraeP), born
March 12, 1828, in the town of York, Livingston County, N. Y., on the farm
where in 1908 he had lived the eighty years of his life, when he was in perfect
health of mind and body. He married (1) October 7, 1851, Elizabeth Eraser of
York, N. Y., who died August 31, 1853, leaving a son. He married (2) March
17, 1864, Henrietta Clark of Caledonia, N. Y., who died September 23, 1868,
leaving a daughter.
Mr. Newton was educated in the public schools of his district, and at the age
of 18 taught in the town of Caledonia. It seemed to him a duty to remain on
his father's farm, and he purchased his brother's interest in it and it became
his permanent home. A Republican in politics, he was elected to various town
offices : Assessor, 1866-1870 ; Commissioner of Highways, 1870-1879 ; Supervisor,
1881-1887; Chairman of the Board of Supervisors of Livingston County two
760 NEWTON GENEALOGY
years, and member of it five years. His townsmen wished to send him to the
State Legishiture, but he refused the honor. At the age of 15 years he united
with the Methodist Episcopal Church and liad held all of the offices therein as
layman, and in 1899 was Recording Steward of the Fowlerville charge, Genesee
Conference. He was a grand old man, who made a success of his life by being
ready and willing to do whatever came next to hand. His children are:
374. i. Walton Aurora', b. July 19, 1853 ; m. Dec. 3, 1879, Delia Gillette of Lan.sing,
Mith. At the age of 14 yeare lie entered the mercantile department of
B. F. Dow & Co., merchants and manufacturers of engines, threshing
machines, agricultural implements, etc., at Fowlerville, Mich., learning the
business and later becoming manager of the business, and traveling for it
all through the West. In 1879 he located in Laasing, Mich., and entered
the business for himself. Since 1883 he has confined his business relations
almost wholly to Lansing and its tributaries. Republican; Methodist
Church ; and right dealing represents what he stands for.

376. ASAHEL NEWTON-' (descendant of Thomas^ of Fairfield), born
June 1, 1758, at Colchester, Conn. ; died May 30, 1834. His great-grandson, Mr.
Jervis O. Newton, writes: "The earliest history which we have been able to
obtain concerning the Newton family is, that they took a prominent part in the
settlement of Colchester, Conn., in the early part of tlie eighteenth century. It
is said they were descended from Thomas Newton, at one time of Fairfield, Conn.
Asaliel Newton is the first of whom we have any authentic record." Ho was a
soldier of the Revolution. The "Connecticut Men in the War of the Revolu-
tion" 1880, pg. 176, contains the name of Asahel Newton, in the Company of
Capt. Eells, enlisted May 5, 1777, term three years, discharged May 5, 1780. The
family history of his service, more in detail, states that he was at the storming
of Stony Point by "Mad Anthony Wayne" ; one of the picked men who led the
way. Also, ho was one of Washington's body guards and was present at the
surrender of Comwallis at Yorktown. He married February 19, 1784, Versalle
Booth. I supiwse tlicy lived in Colchester. They had ten children ; the fifth was:
377. V. Erastus", b. Feb. 22, 1795, at Colchester, Conn. About 1810 he went

born , 1788; died , 1864. He came from Voluntown, Conn.,
to West Greenwich, R. I., where he and his wife are buried. He married
Nancy Saunders, before the removal. [There were living in Voluntown, Conn.,
in 1790, only four heads of families, one of whom was probably his father or
mother, namely : Desire, Isaac, Jabez or Matthew.] He may have had more than
the one son here given : viz. :

395. CHRISTOPHER NEWTON ( ), born February 20, 1738, at
Groton, New London County, Conn. ; died at Newport, N. H., February 19, 1834.
I have made no effort to trace either Cliristoplior Newton or his cousin Isaac of
Newport, N. IT., because they seemed so surely to spring from tlie original
Coiuiecticut Newtons. It should not be difficult for those most interested to
trace them, having the few facts I am able to give here. Being born in Groton,
Conn., the town records should show the names of his parents, and at that early
day there could have been hardly more than three generations in America behind
him. Very probably the first of them was Thomas Newton'^ "of Fairfield," whose
posterity was quite numerous in Colchester, and New London County, Conn.,
generally. The name, Christopher, I have not found earlier than this one. In
1790, the First United States Census shows this Christopher Newton at New-
port, N. H., — family, "1-2-5," another at Woodbridge, New Haven County,
Conn., — family, "1-3-3," another in New London County, Conn., the county he
oaine from, — family, "1-0-1."
He removed with his family of wife and five children in 1779, from Groton,
New London County, Conn., to Newport, N. H. Another son, Hubbard, was
born at Newport, N. H. He became one of the early settlers of that town. He
took up land on the "Unity Road," where he established a homestead-farm —
which afterward came into possession of his son Erastus — and where he died.
He was moderator of the town meetings for nine years, and one of the select-
men two terms.
He married in Connecticut, February 20, 1700, Mary Giles, daughter of Hon.
Benjamin Giles of Groton, Conn., where she was born November 12, 1745, and
died at Newport, N. H., May 14, 1821. Their children were:
390. i. Martha, b. April 9, 1708 ; m. at Hebron, Conn., Dec. 20, 1785, Aaron Mack,
who was b. .Ian. 11, 1701. Their one child I know of was
1. Polly Mad;, b. Nov. 23, 1780.

N. H., in 1830, succeeding to the practice of Edward Parker, Esq.; returned
after five years in Amherst to Newport, N. II., where he died. In Amherst, he
appears to have taken a prominent part in town affairs — as moderator of the
Annual Town Meetings, Justice of the Peace, on committee to apportion pews
in the Meetinghouse, gave address at a political banqviet in a Whig victory,
etc. He was one of the organizers, and a trustee of tlie Newport Academy.

City, Iowa, December, 1907. It was furnished him from her memory by his
great aunt, Mrs. Mabel (Williams) Hewitt of Norwich, Conn., in 1903. Few
dates could be given — probably between 1775 and 1850. Even without dates
the matter ia important and should be preserved. I have no doubt that this is
the father of Isaac Newton of NewiJort, N. IL, who was probably descended from
Thomas Newton of Fairfield, Conn.] They had ten children. The order of
birtlis here given may not be correct. Children :

429al. ISAAC NEWTON (son of Samuel (429) of Groton, Conn., by wife
Deborah ), a cousin of Cliristopber Newton (395) and like him from
Groton, Conn., among the early settlers of Newport, N. H. ; ]ive<l on the
M. Hurd farm on the road from Newport going south to Unity, N. 11. IIo was
sheriff of the county. His birth is not given, but probably occurred in New
London County, Conn., if not in the town of Norwich, Coim. Although his
death is not given, ho probably died in Newport, N. H. He married Hannah
Giles, a daughter of Hon. Benjamin Giles of Groton, Conn., and New^iort, N. H.,
and sister of Mary Giles, who was wife of his cousin Christopher Newton,
which see. I have nothing further regarding her except that she was the mother
of his seven children.
Isaac Newton was among those who took the "Association Test Oath" of
loyalty June 20, 1776, at Newport, N. IT., which would indicate that he was
there before Christopher came. All of his children, except tlie first, were born at
Newport, N. H. The First United States Census, 1790, shows him at Ncwjiort,
N. H., head of a family, the other members being one male above sixteen years,
one male under sixteen years, and six females. The children were seven in
number :
430. i. Giles, b. ; probably at Norwich, Conn.; m. Naomi Duncan. He
resided in Francestown, N. H., and seems to have been an active and
important citizen. In 1795 he built what is called the "Old Dane Store."
and occupied it for a time. About 1798, the firm of "Kingsbury & Newton"
[Nathaniel Kingsbury and Giles Newton] erected the "Parker Hotel" in
Francestown, N. II. (which burned in 1S>5). January he took out a license
as "Taverner." and on June 17, 1799, the large and commodious house was
occupied by him for a short time. In 1801. he was appointed postmaster
for Francestown. Oct. 1(5, 1828, he with five others were delegates to a
great political meeting in Francestown, N. H. Other mention of him. His
son was :

14. 1808; m. there Aug. 2."), 182.->. Sally Rail. Mr. Newton was a
farmer in Antrim. N. H. "He bought of Daniel Ruswell. the farm next
east of Jlr. Greeley's," where he lived until his sudden death. He
dropped dead while engaged in loading hay. "He was a good and pious
man." His five children were born at Antrim.

441. SAMUEL NEWTON (fourth child of Isaac, above), born September 13,
1782, at Newport, N. H. ; died at Akron, Ohio, August 5, 1871, aged 88 years.
10 months, 23 days. Mr. Newton's parents were from Groton, Conn., to New-
port, N. H. He married and moved to Ohio, settling in Middlebury Township
on October 14, 1815. He was for many years one of the leading hotel keepers
of northern Ohio, his house standing at what is now the intersection of East
Market, North Arlington and Kent streets, Akron, Sixth Ward. In March, 1849,
although then 67 years of age, Mr. Newton went with the "Middlebury ^lining
Company," overland to California, returning by way of the Isthmus of Panama
in January, 1850. His first and second wives were daughters of Benajah Bill
of Lyme, Conn. He married (1) Polly Bill, who died September — , 1855; mar-
ried (2) Eunice Bill; m. (3) November — , 1856, Mrs. Laura Remington. He

448. CALEB NEWTON^ [not traced, but very probably is a descendant of
Thomas Newton of Fairfield, who was a land holder in Middleburg, L, I. ; accord-
ing to the "Annals of Newtowai, Long Island," Kiker, in 1656 he paid fifteen shil-
lings, "the Indian Rate" of a shilling an acre, in Middleburg. He also lived in
Long Island for some time, in the years following 1650, when he became involved
with the Commissioners, who would have imprisoned him, and he escaped to
Long Island — New York State — where they could not touch him. It would
naturally follow that some of his posterity would be found thereabout during the
next hundred years. However, the following are the only facts available to me
now.] An old burying ground at or near Lake Ronkonkoma, in Suffolk County,
L. I., contains graves with headstones of Caleb Newton, who died August 11,
1787, aged 57, and of Anne, his wife, who died June 7, 1832, aged 97, and of their
son, Caleb Newton, who died February 21, 1844, aged 81.
The descendants of these people recognize them as their family, and state
that Caleb Newton\ born about 1730, died in 1787, aged 57 ; married Anne Bly-
THOJIAS OF FAIRFIELD 7(;7
dcnburgh of llauppauge, L. I., born about 1735, died in 1S32, aged 'J7. Their
son:
4i9. i. Caleb=, Jk., b. about 1703; d. Feb. 21, 1844, ag«l 81, was born, lived all
his life, died and was buried at Lake Ronkonlioma, L. I. Tlie name of hiis
wife is unknown to tliem, but tlie names of liis children are given. Whether
he lived at Lake Ronkonkoma or not, the First United States Onsus, 1790,
shows him a.s head of a family at I'.rodkhaven, same county, in Long Island,
the other members being two males under sixteen years and two females.
There were two other Newton families at Brookhaven, namely, those of
Isaac Newton, 2-11-1 ; .Tohii Newton, 2-2-2. These could have been brothers
of Caleb Newton-', .Tr. (I suggest it merely; have no authority). The children

479. DAVID NEWTON of Hartford, Vt. (possibly from Thomas^ of Fair-
field). [There have been many inquiries, and thus far no answers, as to the
ancestry of this man. I, myself, have made no search. I have separated his
posterity from the posterity of Eiehard Newton as soon as I recosnized them
as such; since it seemed useless for me to jrivo time to them, my feeling being
that they did not belong to my branch. But so many have I gathered of his line,
that as a sort of introduction to their record, I will here quote somewhat from
the histories of Hartford and Norwich, Vt. This will prevent much repetition
in stating the facts — facts that each separate family will wish to know, and
can apply for itself. That he may belong to the branch of Richard Newton,
perhaps through Isaac of Stafford, is not unreasonable to suppose. The names of
his children are those many times repeated in all the branches — Rev. Roger
Newton's' of Milford, Conn., and Thomas Newton's' of Fairfield, Conn., but
perhaps more frequently in the Richard Newton' branch. Someone will doubt-
less sometime find the solution of the problem.]
The towns of Hartford and Norwich in Vermont were not far apart and the
families of each were more or less connected as well as being so with the
]ieople across the river in New Hampshire. "On both sides of the river, nearly
all were emigrants from Connecticut, and from that portion of Connecticut
lying east of the great river." "Hartford has four principal villages : Hartford,
otherwise known as "White River Village"; Quechee; West Hartford; Wliite
River Junction — all are postoffice villages." In the Christian Street Cemetery

PART V. ANTHONY NEWTON, ET AL.
6935. JOHN NEWTON of Dorchester, Mass., 10.32 ; freeman, 1G33 ; removed
to Dedham. He had lands in Dorchester set oS to him "Next to Roxhury," in
1633, and in 1637 other hinds in Dorchester were granted to him. He was kins-
man of Edward AllejTi of Dedham, who, dying suddenly at Boston, where he
was a representative to the General Court, IMi. hy nuncupative will gave his
estate to John Newton and another relative. He married and had a son :
6035a. i. IIenky, bapt. — , 1643.
6936. JOHN NEWTON of Colliton, Devonshire, England, Chirurgeon [i. e.
surgeon], in his will, dated April 3, 1616, and proved April 21, 1647, mentions
and provides for "My wife Alice," gives to his "daughter Mary," "my son
Anthony and my daughter Joane, or their children," and if his "daughter Mary
die childless," etc., then to Edward Newton, son of William Newton of Waddon
in the Parish of Southley. "Also I give unto Anthony, my said son, and Joane
my said daughter, which arc now in New England, six pounds a piece, to be
paid by Mary my said daughter, within a year after my death. The residue to
my said daughter Mary, whom I make mine executrix." The will was proved
"by the oath of Mary Stocker ah Newton, natural and lawful daughter of the
deceased."
It is supposed the son Anthony, in New England, was the same person as the
one mentioned by Savage, in the following fashion: "Newton, Anthony, Dor-
chester, of Braintree 1610, engaged 1652, in sett, of Lancaster, was freeman 1671."
And by Farmer: "Newton. Anthony, Lancaster 1652, freeman 1671." I have
little news of this immigrant Newton. I record what I suppose to be his descend-
ants— have not tried to gather them, merely to eliminate them from the record
of those of Richard Newton^ of Sudbury.
6937. ANTHONY NEWTON^ was an original member of the church at
Milton, Mass., when it was gathered April 24, 1678. He signed the covenant
with eleven others from the church at Dorchester. His wife, "Sister Newton,"
vi'as admitted by letter from Dorchester, Oct. 2, 1681. It is stated by Hon.
Newton Talbot of Boston : "I am a descendant of Anthony Newton of Milton.
He must have been in that town for many years, as he was voted land from the
'new grant' not as an original settler, but as one who had claims as an early
townsman." I have no authority as to his children except the son:

The following Ncwtons appear on the Hilton church records. I suppose they
are related to Anthony Newton of that town, but do not know:
6939. EPHRAIM NEWTON, m. Ruth , who was admitted to the
church at Milton, March 10, 1689. Their daughter,

I'uffor. They had four childron. and ho diod lM>fore Nov. 18, 1718, when his
widow was appointed to admiuistor on his estate.
6941. JOHN NEWTON, born about lOSS; died at ifilton, February 16, 1774,
aged 86 years. It would seem that he had no innnediate family, or had outlived
them, when he made his will in 1767. Pompey, his negro man, died at Milton,
August 3, 1780. An abstract of the will of "Mr. John Newton," and guardian-
ship of his negro man, Pompey, follows:

6942. THOMAS NEWTON, "the Attorney" at Boston, came there in 1688
from New Hampshire. He was Secretary of that province until 1690; was
Controller of the Customs at Boston; Judge of the Admiralty, and Attorney-
General for the Province of Massachusetts Bay. He occupied this last position
during and after the witchcraft prosecutions. "His opinion must have led to
the cure of the infernal delusion, for in January, 1693, he wrote to Sir William
P.hipps, the Ciovernor, that of the fifty-two charged at Salem, at that court, the
three convicted should have been acquitted like the rest." [Savage.] He was
bom in England, gentleman, "June 10, 1660, being Whitsunday," and died at
800 NEWTON GENEALOGY
Boston, Mass.," on the Lonl's day being also Whitsunday." June 18, 1721. Ho
was one of the original founders of King's Chapel, Boston ; was a member of
its vestry 1098 and 1699, and warden in 1704 and aftenvards. A raural monu-
ment was erected to his memory, in that church, by his great-grandson, Edward
A. Newton. The library of Thomas Newton, advertisetl for sale soon after his
death, is said to have been the greatest and best collection of law books which
had ever been offered for sale in tlie country. The Boston News-Letter, in the
mention of his death, says in part : "He was educated there, [Eng.] and entirely
beloved there and here by all who knew him. One who carrie<l himself hand-
somely to all, and just . . . affable and courteous . . . inoffensive conversa-
tion, of strict devotion toward God. . . . The funeral was attended by His
Excellency the Governor, Gentlemen of His Majesty's Council, with other prin-
cipal gentlemen, merchants, and others." In a descriptive list of seals attached
to the correspondence of David Jeffries, Esq., treasurer of Boston for many years
during that period, that of Thomas Newton, Attorney-General, appears on a
letter dated Boston, January 28, 1689, to the Hon. John Usher, Esq., with shield
badly broken: "Crest, an arm vambraced and embowed. grasping a ?
[It is hard to say what this was meant for; perhaps a wand, or perhaps a shin
bone.] Newton of Newcastle-on-Tyne, England, bears, two shin bones in saltire.
Crest, an arm vambraced and embowed, grasping a shin-bone."
Mr. Newton married. [It seems to me in England, but may be not.] His
wife, and widow. Christian Newton, mentions in her will, "my ijart of an Estate
in Old England at my Father's Death belonged to me," and "my Estate at
Plastow in Old England." [There are two towns Plaistow in England, one in
Sussex County and one now a part of larger London. Her mention of and
bequest to "my daughter Thompson." not mentioned in the will of her husband,
would lead one to think she might be her daugliter by a previous marriage. I
do not know.] Their children as given in the two wills were:
0943-0046. 1, HiBBEKT^: 2. ELiZAnExn^; 3. Christian^ : 4, IIaxnau-, and '■daiishlcr
Thompson" — which was probably her married name. Tlie daughtiM-
('hristian^ only, was married at that date, 1728. Abstraets of the wills

6043. HIBBEET NEWTON- (s. of Thomas' "the Attorney"), horn probably
sometime during- the decade prior to 1700. It is stated of him, there being little
traific vpith Nova Scotia in winter, "That season was always spent by Hibbert
Newton in Boston, his native place." He was appointed Collector of Customs in
Nova Scotia in 1711, and held his office at Annai)olis, on the Bay of Fundy, where
ho died in 1751, having made his will the year before. He married Hannah
Adams, daughter of John Adams of Boston, where she was baptized, September
17, 169!), and was living in 1750, when she was made executrix of her husband's
will. Her father, John Adams (s. of John and Avis), was at one time lieutenant-
govenior of Nova Scotia, but subsequently (1740) returned to Boston, where he
died. He was a brother of the celebrated ]\rattlie>v Adains. the friend and patron
of Dr. Benjamin Franklin. The children of Ilibbert- and Hannah Newton are
mentidiii'.l in the will of their father, an abstract of which follows:

1802, at Halifax, N. S. He succeeded his father in 1751 as Collector of Cus-
toms in Nova Scotia and resided there until his decease. "Thus the father and
son held possession of the same office, successively, for 90 year."

He married Ann Stuart, daiitjhter of (iilliert Stuart [a Reotchman. who came
to this country in 174G, settled first at Narras'ansett, afterwards at Newport,
K. I., where he married. About 1783 or so they moved to Nova Scotia. He was
also the father of the celebrated painter, Gilbert Stuart]. After the death of
her husband in 1802, Mrs. Newton came, in 180.3, to Massachusetts and opened
a school for young ladies at Medford, and afterwards in Boston. She died in
1822. The one child I know of is :

continued exclusively in the India trade till 1820, when, having acquired a
competency, he retired from busines,s and resided permanently in Pittsfield.
He was a memlier of the governor's council in JIassachusetts with Govern-
ors I'avis and I'.riggs ; for a long time president of tlie Agricultural Rank
at I'ittsfield; a member of the Episcopal Church, and of the N. E. Hist.

The following Pittsfield NeVtoiis I place Ium-c, not knowing whether the.v
belong to this family or not, namel.y :
6958. EDWAED E. NEWTON, born in 1828 ; "a man of independent spirit" ;
a trustee of Williams College.
C059. MISS LUCEETIA NEWTON, who gave an organ to the church before
1876.
C9G0. GILBEET STUAET NEWTON [see No. 6952], "nephew of Gilbert
Stuart, the painter," died September 3, 1835; married August 22, 1832, Sally
W. Swan, daughter of William Sullivan and Sally (Webb) Swan. She was
born November 10, 1810. She bore him one child. She married (2) June 25,
1840, William F. Oal^ey of Now York and had eleven children. The child of
Gilbert S. was :
0961. i. A.NKE SxiiAiiT, b. 1833 ; d. 1.803.
In an article giving some of the descendants of Percival and Ellen Green of
Cambridge, 1636, is the statement that Benjamin Green, born 1713, married 1737,
Margaret Pierce. He was in mercantile business with Asia until the expedi-
tion against Cape Breton. He aet«d as secretary, with military rank, to Sir
William Pepperell. He remained at Louisburg after its capture, filling several
offices until 1749, when he removed to Halifax, N. S., where he continued in the
public service, and died in 1772. His widow died in 1779. His daughter Mar-
garetta, married John Newton (6962). She died 1763, without children. "Char-
lotte [sister of Margaretta], married Henry Newton (6963), collector of customs
for Nova Scotia. She died in 1782, and left a large family." [Was this a first
marriage of Henry Newton^ (Hibbert-), and was the John Newton his brother?]
JOHN, ANTHONY, THOMAS. I'7J' AL. S0;5
6947. TllOilAS NEWTON' (Ilibberf-). I have nothing whatever that I
surely know relates to him. The following administration of the estate of
Thomas Newton (see No. 6969), late of Billerica — the date and the accoimt —
"for stockings, Butter, etc., sent to Cape Breton for the Dec'd," partieularl.y,
lead me to think this might be the son of Ilibbert-, collector of customs at that
period, 1711-1751.
6964. THOMAS NEWTON^ (grandson of Thomas' the Attorney), to whom
his grandmother bequeaths her "wedding ring, and the two books of Doctor
Hammond," would need to have been born by 1712, or before, if he were not
sixteen years old in 172S. In 1746 he would have been about 34 years more
or less. Perhaps he was the Thomas Newton of Billerica, below (No. 6969).
6945. CimrSTIAN NEWTON- (dau. of I'bomasi the Attorney) is given
a bequest in both her father's and in her mother's will. She married, then of
Boston, February 11, 1723, John Wainwright, son of John and Elizabeth AVaiu-
wright. He was born June 19, 1691, and died September 1, 1739, aged 48. He
was graduated from Harvard College in 1709 or 1711. Merchant. He was long
examining clerk and held other offices of trust in the town of Ipswich, Mass.,
where they resided. He was a member of the Artillery Company, 1714; colonel
of regiment; Representative, 1720-1730; Justice of Oeneral Sessions of Court,
1723. A man of worth. He was survived by his wife and two children. The

tons that lived in Hull, Yorkshire, England, for several generations and hefore
that came from the adjoining County of Lincolnshire. Since our Richard New-

England, it is not impossible that these two clans may have been nearly related.

rector of St. Tanl's Church in I'liihidelpliia, where his energy and elo-
quence soon made him prominent. In the spring of 18(;n he was called
to take charge of All Soul's (the Anthony Jlemorial 1 Church in New
Y'ork C'ity, where he continued until 1902. His liberality of thought
made him widely known and brought upon him the so severe criticism
of other clergymen of his church that in 1S91 he w-a.s charged by them
„ with entertaining "liberal religious views, and violating Canon XIII,
in admitting other denominations to his pulpit," and a board of inquiry
to investigate the charges was ajipointed by Hishop Potter. The matter
became of wide interest and shortly after Dr. Newton resigned his
charge. In ]!)0;? he was appointed rector of Memorial Church and
.select preacher to I.,elnnd Stanford Jr. University, in P.erkeley, Calif.,
but resigned the charge in April of the same year. He was active in
his efforts to harmonize the differences in creeds and bring more unity
to the churches of California. Dr. Newton was the author of a num-
ber of sermons, and studies of the Bible and religion.

The Newtons of Virginia, heads of funiilies in the First United States
(lensiis, IVOO, are probably descended from the f(nir men, John^, Joseph'.
Benjamin'', and George Newton^, above. ,
At Wilmington, Va., "the family homestead of Newtons," is the following
inscription : "Beneath this stone are deposited the remains of Mrs. Sarah New-
ton, daughter of George Eskridge, and late wife of ('apt. Willowby Newton of
Westmorelajid Co., who after justly established the character of dutiful
child, a faithful friend, an affectionate mother and sincere Christian, departed
this life on the 2nd of December 1753, in the 46th year of her age."
The name of Willowby, Willoughby, was an early one in the Colony of Vir-
ginia. A Thomas Willoughby' was a settlor there, a prominent man of the
Colony and a large landlioldor. The Willoughbys and Newtons intermarried.
The widow, Sarah Willoughby, whose will is mentioned above, is either widow of
this Thomas' or his son. Mead, in his "Old Churches of Virginia, 1801," {|uot.os:
"from an old document of Mr. Willowby Newton, father of the present Willowby,
and grandson of a Willowby Newton, I learn that at an early period four
brothei-s" [the proverbial four] "imigrated to Virginia. One settled in Norfolk,
another in Alexandria, one in Westmoreland and one in Stafford."

7072. JARED NEWTON', from EuR-land. near Hull. The following from
a letter of August V'>. 1907, written by his descendant, Mr. Thomas W. Newton,
Little Maumee P. O., Ark. (Little Rock, Ark.), is the extent of my knowledge
of this innnigrant. "My father, who was born at Alexandria, Va., many years
ago, made a chart of our branch of the Newton family, which begins, I think,
about the year 1700 with a Jared Ncwion. who came from England — somewhere
near Hull — and left two sons, John and William. Our side branches, I think,
from W' illiam, and whose descendants are located both north and south through-
out the LTnited States. This chart has been copied several times for different
branches of the family and I am of the opinion the original is with my nephew,
Robert C. Newton, in business with 'Swift & Company,' Chicago, 111." "I have
a cousin. Miss Emma Clark of Delaware City, Del., who interests herself and
knows much about the Virginia branch of the family."
The following from "Historical Families of Kentucky," by Green, 1SS9. and
an article by Professor Shim, historian of the state of Virginia, gives all 1 know
• of the posterity of this immigrant.
707;i, 1. THOMAS WILLOUGHBY NEWTON, SR. (styled "General"),
born in 1803, in Alexandria, Va., died in New York City, 1853, aged 50 years.
In 1820, aged 17 years, he went to Arkansas — Little Rock, where he evidently

studied law. In 1S29 ho wont to Sholbyville, Ky., !\m\ married Mary Kclscy
Allen, fourth daughter of Col. John and Jane (Logan) Allen of Shelbyville, Ky.
lie remained at Slielbyville and practiced law until 18;')7, when he returned to
Arkansas, and is mentioned as "of Little Rock." lie was a member of the
Twenty-ninth Congress from Arkansas. "His sons were gallant officers in the
Confederate service, and not less accomplished in civil life." The sons were:

in 1914. at Little Rock, Ark. "They had a large family of boys who are
ail dead except the youngest." 1007, and a daughter, who was graduated
.Tune, 10(17. at Washington,
Colonel, and later General, John AUeu (above) of Shelbyville, liy., was a
hero of the War of 1812. Another of his daughters, Anna, married Col. Richard
Johnson, an editor and lawyer of Little Eoek.
It seems to me that the above family of Newtons nuist in some way be related
to Thomas^ of Norfolk, immigrant. I have not tried to trace any of the
Virginia Newtons — just to recognize them.
7077. THOMAS NEWTON, who seems to be the earliest immigrant of all
Newtons in Virginia, was in the Colony in Id:!"; ha<l wife Mary in 10.39; and
was living in February, l(!43-4.
7078. JOHN NEWTON [wliether descended from the Virginia Newtons or
the Massachusetts Newtons is unknown to me] was living in Pulaski County,
Ark., on the north side of the Arkansas river — (that is across from Little Rock) —
before 1820. He was a man of family and had an estate. He died at his home
in Pulaski County, December, 1822; on November 11, 1822, his wife, Jan,e, died
at the same place.
7079. FENWICK NEWTON of Pulaski, Ark., appointed cadet, 1828, to
West Point Military Academy.
7080. BASIL NEWTON and LAEKIN NEWTON of Crawford County,
Ark. (descent unknown to me). The "first Court of Crawford County, 1820,
was held in the storehouse of Basil Newton & Larkin Newton." In July, 1825,
Basil Newton administered on the estate of John and Mary Newton.
7081. LARKIN NEWTON married in Hampstead County, Ark., September,
1829, Mary Aim Wilson, daughter of John Wilson of that place.
7082. JESSE NEWTON of Drew County. Ark., "came there at a later
period.'"
7083. JAMES NEWTON of Calhoun County, Ark., in 1850.

7084. MR N. C. NEWTON. July 23, 1881, was accepted a member of
Virginia Ilistorienl Society.
7085. ALLERTON NEWTON of Westmoreland County, Va., was a con-
necting link between the immigrants of the north and south colonies. He "was
doubtless akin to Capt. Willoughby Newton of Westmoreland Co. whose wife
Sarali, dau. of George Eskridge," etc. He is mentioned in the will of his
grandfather, Hon. Isaac Allerton, dated October 25, 1702, in this wise: "to
grandson, Allerton Newton, 1000 lbs. of tobacco when 21 years of age." Also,
"to danghfcr Sarah Lee, and grandson, Allerton Newton, two tracts of land in
Stafford County." He makes his son. Willonghby Allerton, residuary legatee
and executor.
This Isaac Allerton- (s. of Isaac' of the Mayflower), born 1G30, at Plymouth,
Mass.; graduated from Harvard College 10.50; settled in Westmoreland County,
Va. ; wife Elizabeth: six i-liildreu, id' whom tlii^ fdurth. , m. Newton
and had son Allerton.
70SC. JOHN NEWTON born in Norfolk, Va.. August 24, 1823; died in
New York City, May 1, 1895.
The most brilliant achieveuieut of Cien. John Newton's career as an engineer
was the removal of the dangerous roeks at Hell Gate in the East River channel
in New York.
He was a graduate of the West Point Military Academy, and ranked second in
a class of fifty-si.x, which contained a number of men who afterward became
distinguished as generals in the Civil War. His high standing enabled him
to choose an assignment in the engineer coryis of the army, an<l he was com-
missioned second lieutenant of engineers and n]i]iointed assistant professor of
engineering in the military academy. Until the opening of the Civil War he
was engaged in various engineering enterprises in the army, serving in the
construction of fortifications and other works along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts,
and in 1858 acting as chief engineer of the Utah expedition. He was the
chief engineer of the Department of Pennsylvania when the war began, and in
August, 1861, he was engaged in constructing the defences of Washington.
He received the rank of Brigadier General of Volunteers and served in the
Army of the Potomac in the Peninsular Campaign. At Fredericksburg he led
a division, and when (!en. John F. Reynolds was killed before Gettysburg,
General Newton succeeded to the command of the first corps. In command of
the second division of the fourth corps of the army of the Cumberland he
participated in the invasion of Georgia, and took i)art. in the engagements that
culminated in the capture of Atlanta.
During the war he received the brevets of major general of volunteers, and
brigadier general and major general in the regidar amiy and after the war
became lieut«naiit-colonel of engineers. He was made superintending engineer
of the construction of tlie defenses on the Long Island side of the Narrows
entrance to New York harbor, and was appointed to direct the improvements
of the Hudson River and of the fort at Sandy Hook.
The East River forms a large portion of the water front of New York and
Brooklyn, and is the most imjjortant avenue of coastwise trade in the ITnited
States. Its channel is scoured by strong tides which keep it pennanently free
from shoals of sand and mud, but in the strait called Hell Gate there were
immense obstructions in the form of nmnerous reefs encroaching on the channel
and giving rise to violent currents which made navigation extremely hazardous.
In 1851 a French engineer named ]\Iaillefert was engaged to remove these
JOHN. ANTHOXV, THO.MAS, lOT Ah.
813
obstructions. He applied a process of surface-blasting which succeeded in
removing from the rocks the projecting prominences of small area, but were
of little effect on the main rocky structure.
Soon after the war General Newton was instructed to make an examination
of Hell Gate and present a plan to remove the obstructions. liis plan was
submitted in 1867 and thereafter for nearly twenty years he was engaged on the
problem of the destruction of the reefs of Ilell Gate. His plan was to sink a
shaft upon the rocky surface and from it excavate tunnels in the rock in a
radiating direction under the river and connect them with concentric galleries;
then, after removing from the interior as much of the rock as possible without
danger of letting in the water, to blow up the rock and supporting columns.
These plans involved the solution of novel engineering problems and the
invention of new apparatus, but they were carried out with complete success.
Ilallet's Point was blown up in 1876 and Flood rock in 1885. the e.xplosions
producing no great noise or disturbance and causing only the slightest damage
in adjacent buildings.
